// If /usr/obj-stable is ever used, it is incorrect. /usr/obj is the
// *only* directory ever used for the object tree. It should be building
// all of the sources you have under /usr/src-stable under the
// directory /usr/obj/usr/src-stable/.
Ok. So how do you explain this ?
My src-stable/Makefile, at lines 143-148 is like this:
...
here=`pwd`; dest=/usr/obj`echo $$here | sed 's,^/usr/src,,'`; \
if test -d /usr/obj -a ! -d $$dest; then \
mkdir -p $$dest; \
else \
true; \
fi; \
...
Hence, if my current directory is /usr/src-stable, $dest will get the
value "/usr/obj-stable".

//
// If you can be more specific about the 'some parts' and locate
// problems with specific makefiles, then use send-pr. NONE of the
// source tree should be looking at /usr/obj-*anything*, and the
// macros that enable this are all common (in /usr/share/mk).
I don't fully compreend all that makefiles (yet). All that I know
for now is that when I do a make obj, the links are created pointing
to obj-stable, but the real directories are created in /usr/obj.
