Even when obj directory that is used has the same name as the canonical
one? :-)  I haven't seen this.  It can't happen if the names are really
identical.

I see warnings like:

Warning: Using /usr/src/usr.bin/make/obj as object directory instead of
canonical /usr/obj/usr/src/usr.bin/make

when I forget to remove the obj pointer or subdirectory.  I like this
because I only use obj pointers/subdirectories for debugging and want to
clean them up when I'm finised.  People who use obj links `(make objlink'
or option OBJLINKS in /etc/make.conf) probably wouldn't like it.

The message is printed on stdout, but should probably be printed on
stderr.
