IIRC the build goes something like

	make clean
	make objdir
	make includes
	make depend
	make libraries
	make

from the top level. So, you are having problems in making depedencies, you
haven't actually built anything as yet..  if it is to do with timestamps
over NFS then you are going to get more problems even if you skip groff.

So, is there a way to skip depends?

If you are not modifying the source and are starting with no object files
then everything will get built anyway.. right?
