This is an effect of the configury change that I hadn't anticipated. This is going to be a major pain IMHO. Are the powers that be really ok with saying "just don't do that (*1)" ? (*1): Which is effectively the same as saying rm -rf * (assuming objdir != srcdir of course) is required if you ^c and want the next `make' to work (assuming you don't want to go to the trouble of figuring out what state the tree is in that will screw up a subsequent make). Ugh.
