The configure and nbhost-mkdep run I pasted was in tools/compat.
I guess it runs configure to find out which files need to be included,
and then a "normal" build begins. That's the reason I was talking about SUBDIR
above.

With the patch to handle cpp the same as cc in bsd.dep.mk, the nbhost-mkdep
in tools/compat fails.
Without the patch, 'make dependall' in gnu/usr.bin/groff fails (the one where
plain BSD reach-over makefiles are used).

I hope that explains the problem better.
