I needed to remake file tonight from the build I had laying around in
/usr/obj.  The /usr/obj is freshly make world'd

So I thought I could just cd to /usr/src/usr.bin/file and type make.
Well, that doesn't update the /usr/obj copy.  It just builds in
/usr/src.  So I cd ..  and then make SUBDIRS=file.  This seemed to
work, but tried to do file/file after it got done.

What's the preferred way to force the build to write to /usr/obj?
