BSDSRCDIR defaults to /usr/src.  If that path matches the front of $PWD, you
get the Magical BSDOBJDIR handling (and you have to create /usr/obj my hand
as a sanity check to make sure you really want this type of objdir
handling).

This has been around for ~years, so unfortunately, its functionality cannot
simply be yanked.  However, if you don't want to use the /usr/src->/usr/obj
rewrite, simply set:

BSDSRCDIR=/nonexistent

in mk.conf and it will never match.  Yes, I know it's a hack.  8-)
