Ah, I hadn't noticed that (main.c:chdir_verify_path()), but this can be
worked around with some very minor trickery.

For the NetBSD source tree, we don't really support any MAKEOBJDIR
substitution that depends on variables set in the specific Makefile (you
could wreak all kinds of havoc doing that).  So, provided the substitution
only includes variable names that are make(1) predefines and variables set
explicitly by the user, it still should be possible to calculate this
properly without invoking a subshell and make(1) with a !=.

: and if MAKEOBJDIR is an absolute path, it uses that.

Right, because it's simply done via a chdir().  Noted; this is simple to
fix.
