Why not compile in /source/${OBJDIR} ? I am against using /tmp . There is little gain of time when compiling in /tmp. Most of the time is spend in reading via 9P filesystem.

So, OBJDIR=/tmp/lsw_build could be removed from swan-install and swan-build .

I compile without -O2 to use of gdb conveniently inside those vm.  It is in Makefile.inc.local; 
USERCOMPILE?=-g  ${WERROR} $(GCC_LINT) -pipe -fexceptions -fstack-protector-all --param=ssp-buffer-size=4  -mtune=generic -fno-strict-aliasing -fPIE -DPIE
