I spoke too soon, after building cleanly once with the virgin untar'd
source, the build is now failing in the same spot as before.   This is
a clean (no -o -u) rebuild after deleting $BUILDDIR, and it fails here
as before:

[.. snip ..]
dependall ===> host-mkdep
install ===> host-mkdep
mkdir -p /home/bcomisky/cuwin/netbsd/build.cuwin/T/bin
cp host-mkdep /home/bcomisky/cuwin/netbsd/build.cuwin/T/bin/nbhost-mkdep
cp: cannot stat `host-mkdep': No such file or directory

*** Failed target:  /home/bcomisky/cuwin/netbsd/build.cuwin/T/bin/nbhost-mkdep
*** Failed command: cp host-mkdep
/home/bcomisky/cuwin/netbsd/build.cuwin/T/bin/nbhost-mkdep
*** Error code 1
[.. snip ..]

I just looked and my src/ directory tree is now littered with .o and .d files..
Deja vu, that seems familiar, but I can't remember what caused it before.
