Note that setting MAKEOBJDIR and MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX as command-line
variables is only supported on 5.x systems after 2003/09/14, and
setting them as global variables (e.g., in /etc/make.conf) would
most likely result in a failed build.  The canonical way was
always to use them as environment variables.

It was Colin Percival who did the change.
