You need to look at what is wrong in the .depend file (generated from *.d by
make depend). Without knowing the contents (especially line 2) we can't
say what is wrong.

Neither of the 'clean' options you specified will remove the *.d or .depend
files.

As a matter of practice it is better to build with all the object files
in a completely separate direcory tree - rather than in subdirectories
of each directory. Typically you need to front build.sh with something
like:

base=`(cd ..;/bin/pwd)`
machine=i386

destdir=$base/dest_$machine
objdir=$base/obj_$machine
releasedir=$base/release

[ -d $objdir ] || mkdir $objdir || exit 1
[ -d $destdir ] || mkdir $destdir || exit 1
[ -d $releasedir ] || mkdir $releasedir || exit 1

exec ./build.sh -u -U -D $destdir -O $objdir -R $releasedir "$@"

Then is is very easy to tidy up by just deleting the object tree completely.
