     I doubt it.  Usually that kind of message means that, for
     whatever reason, the directory .deps/src didn't get created
     properly.  At that point I usually throw up my hands and re-run
     `make -f Smake; ./configure; make'.  Actually I use a
     subdirectory for builds so it's more like `rm -rf _build; make -f
     Smake _build; make -C _build'.

I concurr.  Or if you're building from the source directory, then make
dist-clean; make -f Smake clean is a good way to get a clean source
directory. 

Also, the compiler command you pasted suggests that you haven't done
cvs update for a couple of days; although that shouldn't have been a
problem in itself.
