I've already mentioned this to John, but his comment implied that
${.OBJDIR} == /usr/obj, and that is not true.  It is
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX which defaults to /usr/obj, and that will result
in an ${.OBJDIR) of /usr/obj/usr/src.

However, it is also true that there are times that I have created
/usr/obj/usr/src as a symlink, or have mounted a partition on top
of it.  So, it is true that I explicitly do not want the target
to remove the ${.OBJDIR} directory.
