  .It Va .OBJDIR
  A path to the directory where the targets are built.
+ At startup,
+ .Nm make
+ searches for an alternate directory to place target files -- it
+ will attempt to change into this special directory.
+ .Nm make
+ first tries to change into the directory named by the environment
+ variable
+ .Ev MAKEOBJDIR .
+ If that fails, it tries to change into the directory named
+ .Pa obj.$MACHINE
+ (if the environment variable
+ .Ev MACHINE
+ is not set,
+ .Nm make
+ calls
+ .Xr uname 2
+ to determine the type of machine).  If it still has found no special
+ directory, it next tries the directory named
+ .Pa obj .
+ Finally, if none of the above directories are available
+ .Nm make
+ will settle for and use the current directory.
  .It Ev MAKEFLAGS
  The environment variable
