To prepare proper default TOOLDIR, DESTDIR, and RELEASEDIR?
The top obj dir contains only these three directories.

I guess it should be:

- check existing bmake in try_set_TOOLDIR() or build bootstrap bmake
- make top-obj with the bootstrap bmake
- set TOOLDIR, DESTDIR, and RELEASEDIR via getmakevar() with the same bmake
- then make clenadir, tools-obj, tools, ...
