I doubt it.  Usually that kind of message means that, for
whatever reason, the directory .deps/src didn't get created
properly.  At that point I usually throw up my hands and re-run
`make -f Smake; ./configure; make'.  Actually I use a
subdirectory for builds so it's more like `rm -rf _build; make -f
Smake _build; make -C _build'.
