It really depends on what I'm doing.  Keeping objdirs "near" sources
is handy when doing development, so that you don't have to cd to radically
different places to look at the sources in one window and the binary with
gdb in another.

Note, I generally use symlinks ... obj.i386 -> /u1/netbsd/obj/bin/cat.i386,
etc. ... but I like being able to "cd bin/cat; gdb obj.i386/cat".

Why not?  It works fine.  I generally point BSDOBJDIR at a file system
that I want the .o files on, and then use OBJMACHINE to keep the .o's
for all my different arch builds separate.
