You don't need to do anything with DROPS_STDDIR, it's just the final
destination to finally install things in. It's not required initially
(and maybe never).

No.


Currently the whole thing with the standard configuration should work as
follows:

% cvs -d :pserver:guest at os.inf.tu-dresden.de:/home/remote-cvs co hello
% cd l4
% make O=/tmp/obj oldconfig
% make O=/tmp/obj


/tmp/obj is any directory you like, that's where any generated file will
go.
I had a typo in the build process of dice, please update this and
'configure' should be built.
