Subj: 	Re: yabr (yet another bizarre request) - backingtree?

Mike, this may provide what you're looking for.  There's an environment 
variable known in the build environment called SOURCEDIR, which is a path of 
src directories in which make will look for sources.  The first component of 
this will be the direct backingtree.  For all of the <pool>.<suffix> trees, 
the value of SOURCEDIR should be a single directory, the backingtree's src 
tree.

FYI, as this is a build question, I've cc'd buildhelp - this is more 
appropriate than odehelp (= odeadmin).
