Just FYI, on one of my DragonFly box, /usr/obj (and of course
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX points to /usr/obj) is null-mounted from /var/obj and
it always survives make -j 3 buildworld.
As for mount_union, on the other hand, everything works as expected
until you touch something in the lower layer. I've never used it for
building kernel/world though.
