Note that his failure showed the mkman command having a full path to lint.7
as the target -- this indicates use of .PATH paths (in this case, ${.CURDIR}
was picked), since lint.7 is not .NOPATH:ed.  What likely happened is that a
stray "lint.7" was sitting around in the ${.SRCDIR} from when "make obj"
didn't necessarily work quite right, and got .PATH:ed into trying to write
it back into ${.CURDIR}.

In any case, removing the "realall:" dependency is still a correct thing to
do (letting make(1) sort out the dependency), even if it didn't trigger this
problem.
