i think i just confused myself.  yes, i should be using BSDOBJDIR
instead.  setting MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX had the effect that the dirs were
made, but not the symlinks.  *sigh*

these i'll have to look at again.  thanks for the list.

what i was trying to do was segregate the natively built objects from
the cross compiled ones.
