Yeah, that looks right.

Urk - REALLY?  I don't understand this since the path should be
"canonicalized" in the same way, regardless of what depth in /usr/src
you happen to be.  Observe:

jkh@time-> ls -l /usr/src
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  6 Jun 24 20:46 /usr/src -> /a/src

jkh@time-> cd /usr/src/lib/libc
jkh@time-> pwd
/usr/src/lib/libc
jkh@time-> make cleandir
jkh@time-> make obj
/usr/obj/a/src/lib/libc created for /a/src/lib/libc

Works for me!  Are you sure you didn't do something especially bizarre
in the second case?  I can't reproduce your error!
