That uses the shell to parse a line that's written in make(1) 
syntax.  It will work in simple cases but it's not reliable.

build.sh could do it properly using the getmakevar() function, but 
I don't think it's worth the trouble, because any MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX 
setting in mk.conf would still be ignored by any make process 
that's not launched from build.sh.
