You're using inconsistent options. Your first invocation creates
directories named "obj" in each source directory, to place the objects
in. Setting ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX} to "/usr/obj", which is what "-M"
does, tells "make" to put the objects in subdirectories of "/usr/obj".
No symlinks required.

Since you build with "-M /usr/obj", it should actually have built pax
in /usr/obj/usr/src/bin/pax, but for some reason the build think its
in /usr/src/bin/pax/obj, which must be from a previous build, so
either delete all the obj directories in the tree, or don't use "-M".

By the way, you don't need to set DESTDIR to "" -- it's more typical
to set it to "/", or leave it unset. Of course, it's safer to actually
set a DESTDIR.

If you set MAKEFLAGS=-dA in your environment, you'll get voluminous
output. That may not help much, in this case...

What I would suggest, is to clean out the crud from the source tree,
as follows,

    cd /usr/src
    find . -type dir -name obj | xargs -n5 rm -r

and try again. You could also do your cvs update with "-I \! -I CVS",
and it'll report every file in the source tree that shouldn't be there
(including "obj" directories).
