Aha, I misunderstood you before. This is handled in one of two ways:
1. At the beginning:
make obj OBJLINK=yes
2. On the fly:
make objlink
Which gives you the historical behavior. If OBJLINK is set at
cleandir time, the link also goes away.
This leaves you out in the cold for CDROMs, of course, so I guess
it's only a matter of time before people clammor for a:
oh-my-god-where-are-my-objs:
@echo "${.OBJDIR}"
target so that they can do:
pushd `make oh-my-god-where-are-my-objs`
:-)
