    WRONG! While I've made the above work in -CURRENT, this still
    doesn't work in RELENG_4 and shouldn't be relied upon. From
    <bsd.obj.mk>:

    # MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX Specifies somewhere other than /usr/obj to root the object
    # tree. Note: MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is an *environment* variable
    # and works properly only if set as an environment variable,
    # not as a global or command line variable!
    #
    # E.g. use `env MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/somewhere/obj make'

    Compare:

    $ pwd
    /tmp/foo/src
    $ MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/tmp/foo/obj make -f bsd.obj.mk -V .OBJDIR
    /tmp/foo/obj/tmp/foo/src
    $ make MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/tmp/foo/obj -f bsd.obj.mk -V .OBJDIR
    /tmp/foo/src

    Passing MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX as a command line variable with ``buildworld''
    only works because make(1) enters all command line variables in
    environment before starting any subprocesses.

    Cheers,
