This has something to do with it.

With the "late" fragment:

 ...
 a_md5encrypt_.c: a_md5encrypt.c $(ANSI2KNR)
        @echo "ANSI2KNR is <$(ANSI2KNR)>"
        $(CPP) $(DEFS) $(DEFAULT_INCLUDES) $(INCLUDES) ...

I get:

% make
ANSI2KNR is <../util/ansi2knr>
cc -E -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../libntp -I.. -I../../include
-I../../librsaref
  `if test -f ../../libntp/a_md5encrypt.c; then echo
../../libntp/a_md5encrypt.c; else echo a_md5encrypt.c; fi` | sed 's/^#
\([0-9]\)/#line \1/' | ../util/ansi2knr > a_md5encrypt_.c || rm -f
a_md5encrypt_.c
/bin/sh: ../util/ansi2knr: not found

and with the "late" fragment changed to:
 ...
 a_md5encrypt_.c: a_md5encrypt.c ../util/ansi2knr
        @echo "ANSI2KNR is <$(ANSI2KNR)>"
        $(CPP) $(DEFS) $(DEFAULT_INCLUDES) $(INCLUDES) ...

I get:

% make
cd ../util && make  ansi2knr
