Trying to match something like this is going to get out of control.
Though this is a nice idea but why should a user be prevented from
doing such things ?.
Boiling down these are not variables that usually have to be changed
and if they are changed the user has done a little bit of research
and is more advanced than most and recognizes that / is not a option.
hmmm...so you think something like this won't be useful?

What about the case where MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX="/ usr/obj/dir". I suppose make
will fail in this case but I don't have anything to test this situation in
ATM.
But aside from that "typical user" never adjusts such things and it adds
just a slight bit more overhead to the build that can be avoided altoghter
by the user reading what they type.
