Nvm, this was merged to main but reverted in 3cc91b77514d.

The commit message says:
Revert "src.sys.obj.mk: Export OBJTOP"
Unfortunately this results in make universe's environment, i.e. corresponding to the host, being used for every one of its sub-makes, so they're in the wrong place and trample over each other. This reverts commit 2b7c1402f96be2d2986738e32706dab7b5691ef0.
