System: NetBSD panic 4.0_BETA2 NetBSD 4.0_BETA2 (PANIC) #1: Sun Jan 7 15:45:57 CET 2007 woodstoc@panic:/usr/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile.i386/PANIC i386

>Description:
"make index" tries to remove an older INDEX file before building a new one,
but it bombs if there is none to be removed.

>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/pkgsrc && rm INDEX && make index

>Fix:

this patch is against the Makefile, but afaik that code is in
mk/misc/toplevel.mk now, so it should be applied there
