A build of usr.bin/magic fails:

./mkmagic magic
make: don't know how to make magic.mime. Stop

It worked on one of my other boxes.  The rule in question is:

magic.mime.mgc: mkmagic magic.mime
        [ -f magic.mime ] || cp ${.CURDIR}/magic.mime ./magic.mime
	./mkmagic ./magic.mime

This built fine on my alpha, but failed on my x86.  I can't see why; I'm
not sure whether it should work or not, but either it should always fail
(because there's no magic.mime file) or it should always succeed.

Hmm.  Ah-hah!  The x86 is trying to use objdirs.

*sigh*.
