The object directory gets set to ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}/${OBJFORMAT} in
Makefile.inc0. The upgrade sets ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}/aout or
${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}/elf explicitly depending on which bit it is doing.
It is the OBJLINK that shouldn't be used. It writes in the source
directory.
If you use make world or make buildworld, the object directories
will be created for you based on your preferred MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX.
However, you should be warned that MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX only works
properly if set in the environment, not in /etc/make.conf. There
are existing comments in bsd.obj.mk to this effect.
The problem with putting things in /etc/make.conf is that you are
overriding things that the build procedure has set for good reason.
Since the settings in /etc/make.conf are absolute ( = , not ?= ),
and /etc/make.conf is included near the bottom of sys.mk, they
always win. 8-(
