It appears that you are trying to build from within the source
directory; I have no idea whether that works.
Yes, that's right. I have modified the mk/* things for that (unsubmitted)
and it was working for several month.

I have to check that at home (where the computer is).
Was the build performed from clean, or were there old files lying
around? Note that:1. For the "normal" build mechanism, you have to use
"make maintainer-clean" to remove the files which are generated by
lex/yacc; "make distclean" won't work (presumably, the idea is that
source tarballs include the generated C files, so that users don't
need lex/yacc).
Aha. I only deleted the *.o files.
2. For the new build mechanism, the "make clean" rule is bogus. It is
designed for use with a separate build directory, so you don't need
"make clean"; just "rm -rf" the entire build directory once you're
finished with it (obviously, you don't do this if the build directory
happens to be the source directory).
Yes, I only deleted the *.o files as I still don't understand
how to build into an extra directory 
More soon,
