What about the case where MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX="/ usr/obj/dir". I suppose make 
will fail in this case but I don't have anything to test this situation in

But aside from that "typical user" never adjusts such things and it adds 
just a slight bit more overhead to the build that can be avoided altoghter 
by the user reading what they type.
