Well, last time I try to track down how things were supposed to behave,
I concluded (I may be totally or partially wrong):

1) The Makefiles are called from the source dir;
2) ${.CURDIR} is hence the source dir;
3) ${.TARGET} is the same as POSIX classical $@ and expands just to
the given target, no obj stuff being prepended;

=> so MAKEDEV is generated in the srcdir, when it is supposed---from
ETC_INSTALL_OBJ---to be generated in .OBJDIR

For one reason I don't remember at the moment, changing MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX
by .OBJDIR was not giving the correct result (file was not generated in
the correct place).
