I believe that the explanation that Ted and I came up with is that
we're depending on Make to evaluate the dependencies *in left-to-right
order*, and that's causing trouble. Then again, after some closer
examination, the lib/gssapi/generic/Makefile.in has the line
all-unix:: shared $(OBJS)
before the line
all-unix:: $(SRCS) $(HDRS) includes $(OBJS)
So I guess the question is how was it ever working at all? More
reasons to avoid double-colon rules and to make dependencies more
explicit than they are now. The build system redesign should take
this into consideration.
Anyway the workaround should be to cd into the directories in question
and explicitly run "make includes".
