Comment mentions github. I like short links, so my domain root points to
files in my repository master.

Yes mksh doesn't do <(). Needed for scripts/make.sh of the later mkroot.
Kconfig uses more gmake than shell iirc.

Backs up my distfiles before removing the root when I rebuild offline.

My attention is more broken than my esc key, and I often write with one
hand in public transit standing with touchpad disabled because it catches
interference, or in bed on painkillers trying not to move or look at
things moving. Need least scrolling possible.

Pkgsrc and other parts can all run as user. I have no idea how to
glue them without chroot, dev mount, proc mount, su - and so on.

Alias makes way into nested scripts and makefiles? Have to try. I've
used its escape power for eval generation in argument altering shims,
and unaliased all convenience that distros hoard there.
