Um, you don't have a symlink at

/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo/common/obj

?  It was my impression that this symlink had to be there, even in the case
of BSDOBJDIR.

I suppose my point is that all that determines this directory is a "make
print-objdir" executed from /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo/common/Makefile,
which includes <bsd.lib.mk>, which in turn includes <bsd.obj.mk>.  This
*should be* working.
