  |=20
  |     	if MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is set in the environment		# rule 1
  | 		.OBJDIR =3D ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}/${PWD}
  | 	else MAKEOBJDIR is set in the environment		# rule 2

  | 	else							# rule 3
  | 		.OBJDIR =3D .CURDIR
  |=20
  | Of course, a Makefile is still free to override .OBJDIR if it wants to.
