It doesn't.

It doesn't really. ``make cleandir'' cleans everything known to be
generated in the "obj" directory. This includes .depend, tag files,
.o's, .a's, etc... When you have a /usr/obj/ tree, your "obj" tree is in
there. If you have a ./obj/ then that is your "obj" tree.
``make cleandir'' removes the "obj" tree when it is /usr/obj/. If there
is no /usr/obj/ or ./obj/, then `.' is your "obj" directory.
So the only thing that is possibly different between runs of
``make cleandir'' is the definition of ${OBJDIR}.
