Nothing built in the include directory - is this a clean build area?

The automatic dependency generation failed to generate the .ltdep
file. But it can't be a clean build area, because the libxfs build
rule is:

default: crc32selftest ltdepend $(LTLIBRARY)

and I don't see the crc32selftest rule being executed before the
dependencies are generated. It shoul dlook something like:

$ make
....
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating include/builddefs
config.status: creating include/platform_defs.h
config.status: executing libtool commands
Building include
    [LN]     xfs
    [LN]     disk
Building libxfs
    [CC]     gen_crc32table
    [GENERATE] crc32table.h
    [TEST]    CRC32
CRC_LE_BITS = 32
crc32: tests passed, 225944 bytes in 131 usec
crc32c: tests passed, 225944 bytes in 131 usec
    [CC]     cache.lo
....

So the first thing I'd do is run 'make realclean; make' to restart
the build for a clean workarea first. If that doesn't fix the
problem, then I'll need to know versions of libtool, gcc, etc that
you are using and you'll need to post the output of "make realclean;
make Q=" so we can see the command line that is actually failing.

Cheers,

Dave.
