I got bit by the fact that I didn't define BUILDDIR= in the top-level 
Makefile - if JIRA were up, I'd file an issue to fix that.  Ideally, we 
could emit an error message if BUILDDIR= isn't defined instead of erroring 
out in a mix of confusing symlink errors.  Yes, README described the right 
procedure; but I dislike docs.  ;-)
