>Description:

Attempt to build a snapshot on x86 without MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX set. It'll either
die in cleandir in sys/arch/i386/stand/biosboot or when it tries to make there.
The error is non-obvious because of the way shell works here.

sys/arch/i386/stand/lib/Makefile.inc was brought up from the trunk to support
objdir builds again. In doing so there's an unset MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX in there
when it goes to run the real make. Shell however sets $? to 1 if you unset
a var that wasn't defined. There's no output so make appears to die silently
here (and tracking this down is very painful).

>How-To-Repeat:

unset MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX
cd <src>/sys/arch/i386/stand/biosboot
make

>Fix:

Do what the trunk code does (and should have been in the pullup). Null the
value out (and therefore define the var if it wasn't.). Then unset it.
