The values for OBJROOT and SYMROOT are by default set to a hidden preference that corresponds to the Xcode 3 preference value, there is no UI in Xcode 4 to change those default values. This was the subject of a recent thread on this list.
However, with the default preference settings in Xcode 4, those build settings will be ignored. Instead it uses a temporary location for all the build products and intermediates, somewhere in ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/. BTW, this is a big improvement relative to Xcode 3, because all dependencies now have the same SYMROOT, while in earlier versions of Xcode it often was unable to find products from dependencies that were placed in different locations. Now *where* this temporary location is exactly is not known, there is no build setting that will point you there, so the immediate answer to your question is that you can't. You could figure it out by browsing the file system (as the folder names are not completely arbitrary), or you can use Show in Finder on the product in the left pane.
