>Description:

	A corrupt .depend file will be reported with the wrong pathname
	prefix, apparently with ${.CURDIR} instead of ${.OBJDIR}....

		# cd /proven/work/woods/NetBSD-src/games/hack/         
		# make dependall
		make: "/proven/work/woods/NetBSD-src/games/hack/.depend" line 1361: Need an operator
		make: Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
		
		make: stopped in /proven/work/woods/NetBSD-src/games/hack
		# ls -l .depend obj/.depend
		ls: .depend: No such file or directory
		-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  76692 Jun 21 20:41 obj/.depend
		# 

>How-To-Repeat:

	make sure you're using OBJDIR builds

	corrupt a .depend file and then run 'make'

>Fix:

	unknown

	(workaround: remove the .depend file and run "make depend")
