I can't reproduce this.  I just did buildworld from readonly src,
remounted the obj dir as readonly (using nullfs) and did an install from
it, no errors.  In case something about nullfs subverted the test, I
then created an md disk, copied obj/* into there, mounted that readonly,
and did an install from it.  That worked too.

Things that are likely different between our setups:  I'm using DESTDIR=
to install into a directory other than /, and my build machine is i386
running 8-stable, probably not the most common setup these days. :)

I'm building an amd64 kernel & world to install onto a spare machine to
see if I can reproduce it in that environment, but that'll take a couple
hours.
