NetBSD localhost 1.5V NetBSD 1.5V (NETLUX) #0: Sat May 12 23:09:17 EDT 2001     boor@localhost:/usr/trunk.src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/NETLUX macppc

>Description:
The command sequence:

	cd /usr/src
	make BSDOBJSDIR=/does/not/exist obj

does not fail.  I think it should.  It instead ends up seting the
obj links to /does/not/exist/.../<dir> but ignores the lack of
a directory.

The later build phase then comes through droping all the object files
in $srcdir rather than $srcdir/obj (since the latter doesn't exist).

>How-To-Repeat:
	See above
>Fix:
Workaround:

	mkdir -p ${BSDOBJDIR} ; ....

Fix? I think the problem is in <bsd.obj.mk> which reads:

obj:
        @cd ${.CURDIR}; \
	.....
                if test -d ${__usrobjdir} -a ! -d $$dest; then \
                        mkdir -p $$dest; \
                else \
                        true; \
                fi; \

If ${__usrobjdir} doesn't exist then I think it should fail rather
than ignore the problem.
