No, at least if you consider the shell setting PWD to be munging it.
`cd /usr/src/bin/cat; make obj' would lose. This can be fixed by using
/bin/pwd instead of ${.CURDIR} and a subsitution on ${.CURDIR} instead
of ${.TARGETDIR} in bsd.obj.mk. You still have to worry about following
"../" paths in makefiles. I guess there is no problem provided the
source and object trees don't contain any internal symlinks. "../"
paths shouldn't be used to go above the trees!
