Getting value of MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX with 'make -V MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX'

[Yasuhiro KIMURA]

Hello,

I'm writing shell script to build and install base system from source
and -V option of make(1) is used in it to get value of MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX.

By default it works fine with all of head, releng/11.2, releng/12.0,
stable/11 and stable/12.

But if I customize value of MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX then it still works with
releng/11.2 and stable/11 but doesn't with head, releng/12.0 and stable/12.


yasu at eastasia[2399]% env MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr0/freebsd/base/ogj make -V MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX -C /usr0/freebsd/base/head

yasu at eastasia[2400]% env MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr0/freebsd/base/ogj make -V MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX -C /usr0/freebsd/base/releng/11.2
/usr0/freebsd/base/ogj
yasu at eastasia[2401]% env MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr0/freebsd/base/ogj make -V MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX -C /usr0/freebsd/base/releng/12.0

yasu at eastasia[2402]% env MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr0/freebsd/base/ogj make -V MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX -C /usr0/freebsd/base/stable/11
/usr0/freebsd/base/ogj
yasu at eastasia[2403]% env MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr0/freebsd/base/ogj make -V MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX -C /usr0/freebsd/base/stable/12

I used env(1) to customize but I got same results when I use
src-env.conf.

Then is this just bug? Or are there any reason that behavior is
changed from 11.x to 12.x and later?

Best Regards.
