 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.
