Unfortunately no...  You still need to create the empty directories
under ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}.  The way it works is that if
${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}/`pwd` exists, make will run in that directory.  If
the directory isn't there, then it will run in `pwd`.

FWIW, I don't run "make obj" all the time - I have /usr/src null mounted
read-only and "make build" will bomb out if an obj directory doesn't
exist...
