Its not an empty / that its installing to. Its just that write operations
(and subsequent reads of those written files) are transparently placed
elsewhere. To INSTALL it looks like things are happening normally.

Also, linking happens in BUILD, and this doesnt modify BUILD's environment
in any way. It might possible to also stage during BUILD (/usr/src is
exempted), in which case you could fake remove offending
libraries. Staging during BUILD could be an additional sanity check,
however in the past some spells have had issues with installwatch running
during BUILD.

So I think for the first round of stuff we'll hold off on that though. Don't
want to introduce too much churn all at once.
