MAKEOBJDIR is documented in a comment in /usr/src/usr.bin/make/main.c
and in /usr/src/share/mk/bsd.obj.mk, and the obj stuff is mentioned in
/usr/src/share/mk/bsd.README. BSDOBJDIR is also documented in bsd.*.mk.
Documentation in source files and in installed rule files counts for
a lot in FreeBSD. The make sources are easy to read.
Cheers,
Mark.
