I will see what happens when I do that.. as I remember it did  
something to break the building of world and I think port building as  
well..

this /exports also holds /usr/obj /usr/src and /usr/ports they are  
symlinks to here.

Again from what I remember having nosuid and/or noexec on /usr/obj and/ 
or /usr/ports was a 'problem' as well..
