    I never liked that aspect of make's /usr/obj support, but I tihnk /usr/obj
    is correctable with an environment variable (from usr.bin/make/main.c):

        /*
         * The object directory location is determined using the
         * following order of preference:
         *
         *      1. MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX`cwd`	<<<<<<<<<<< ENV VARIABLE
         *      2. MAKEOBJDIR			<<<<<<<<<<< ENV VARIABLE
         *      3. PATH_OBJDIR.${MACHINE}
         *      4. PATH_OBJDIR
         *      5. PATH_OBJDIRPREFIX`cwd`
         *
         * If one of the first two fails, use the current directory.
         * If the remaining three all fail, use the current directory.
         */

    I can also mkdir /usr/obj/home/<username> and chown it to the user,
    on leaf, though that could get kinda messy.
