But you can make object files in the man and src directories and the Berkeley make will take advantage of them. mkdir /usr/obj/usr.bin/rcs mkdir /usr/obj/usr.bin/rcs/man mkdir /usr/obj/usr.bin/rcs/src ln -s /usr/obj/usr.bin/rcs/man /usr/src/usr.bin/rcs/man/obj ln -s /usr/obj/usr.bin/rcs/src /usr/src/usr.bin/rcs/src/obj Should do the trick.
