Does anyone know where there's a good explanation of how make uses MAKEOBJDIR and MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX? They're listed as being respected by make in the man page, but it doesn't say why. I'm trying to understand how it's used in older systems and current systems, and not able to follow it yet. Something is done via bsd.obj.mk that I can't see (because of make's special relationship with those two).
