make behavior with obj directory

[Matthieu Michaud]

i was noticed this behavior using make on freebsd and netbsd :

ohmer at moe$ cat Makefile
all:
        pwd
ohmer at moe$ make
pwd
/usr/home/ohmer
ohmer at moe$ mkdir obj
ohmer at moe$ make
pwd
/usr/home/ohmer/obj

it seems a hard coded make behavior so it rather looks like a feature
than a bug. why is that ?
