Probably because someone broke it and nobody noticed.  It should
indeed be possible to build with a r/o /usr/src just as it should be
possible to get back to a /usr/obj containing little more than .depend
files and directories if you do a make clean.  How true that is at any
given time depends on how thorough people have been in their Makefile
hacking.
