No rule to make target `../bfd/bfd.h', needed by `size.o'

["J. Grant" <jg-lists at jguk dot org>]

Hello,

Using the latest CVS version, I do:

$ ./configure
$ make

Then I get the following error, I have attached the full log.

    && rm -f $file && PATH=../src:$PATH /usr/bin/msgfmt -o $file zh_CN.po
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/now3d/src/binutils/po'
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/now3d/src/binutils'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../bfd/bfd.h', needed by `size.o'.
   Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/now3d/src/binutils'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/now3d/src/binutils'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2


bfd.h seems to be created from several other files at compile time.  Has
anyone been working on something that could have affected this?

Best regards


JG
