Well, it's more that /home/martin/GoldenAxiom/int/aldor/ap shouldn't be there.
The rule that defines the dependency is in libaxiom.mk.

$(AX0_AP_FILES): $(MID)/ap/%.ap: $(IN)/as/%.as  $(MID)/ap/.dir

Which suggests a make bug, since in this case, % = 'axlit', not the full file 
name.  
Which version of make are you using?

I can't debug it at the moment, as I changed machine recently, and in the 
process of 
redoing the aldor code without using java, and a slightly saner makefile 
framework.

The 'not java' bit works, but I need a bit of free time to sort out the build 
process.
