That will not work as desired.

When you set VAR=val as an argument to make,
it overrides anything the makefiles want to do
and there are a number of points where the top level makefiles want to
play with MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX

By contrast;

MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/home/royger/buildjob/obj/ make -j30 buildworld 

or for csh users;

env MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/home/royger/buildjob/obj/ make -j30 buildworld

provides the same value via the environment, this leaves the makefiles
able to do as they will.
