Wrong command in the FreeBSD wiki page about cross compiling

Hi, all.
The command in FreeBSD wiki page, "A_Brief_Guide_To_Cross_Compiling_FreeBSD"
(https://wiki.freebsd.org/A_Brief_Guide_To_Cross_Compiling_FreeBSD)
seems to be wrong.
In the "Build World" section of the "Building and Installing World"
part, it says;
% make buildworld TARGET=arm TARGET_ARCH=armeb
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/home/bob/obj
But, for some reason, setting MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX as a command line
argument should not
be done as that is described in man page build(7). The correct one is below;
% MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/home/bob/obj make buildworld TARGET=arm
TARGET_ARCH=armeb
or exporting it as a persistent environment variable,
% export MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/home/bob/obj
% make buildworld TARGET=arm TARGET_ARCH=armeb
This problem of failing cross compiling is reported a few times.

I encountered the same problem as the last one.
I don't know why the original author wrote such a command and if it
works in some particular
environment or not.
My uname -a is below;
