My laptop -- where I build stable/10 & head daily -- is set up so that:
g1-252(10.2-S)[1] ls -lT /usr/obj
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14 Jul 19 06:39:21 2015 /usr/obj -> /common/S1/obj
g1-252(10.2-S)[2]
In this case, /tmp is tmpfs and all others are UFS2+SU.

In such cases, my first suspect is (ab)use of realpath.
