As a side noe, a missing build target "../lib/libgnu.a" is easily produced:

      $ ./configure CFLAGS="-Wall"
      $ gmake clean
      $ gmake -C talk/
        [...]
      make: *** No rule to make target `../lib/libgnu.a', needed by `talk'. Stop

   Thus I draw the conclusion that the build files `*/Makefile' are
   incomplete, since their interpretation depends on their order of
   application.

Thanks.  Not sure if this can be done easily; atleast we don't do
anything special so this is to do with automake.  I always run `make'
in the top tree.  Is there a problem with always running make from the
top directory?
