A wild guess: are you running this under NT? For some screwy reason, the
Allegro makefile doesn't work correctly under NT, either because I'm
abusing the make VPATH directive or because there is some subtle bug in
make. I don't have a copy of NT to experiment on, but I'll rewrite the
makefile so it works in the next version. For now, either build under a
different OS, or compile the offending files (asmdef.c, and I think also
some of the doc files) by hand, copying the commandline that make issues
but changing the filename to have a full path, eg:

gcc -I. -Isrc -Isrc/djgpp -Iobj/djgpp -Wall -Werror -m486 -O3
-ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -s -o obj/djgpp/asmdef.exe src/asmdef.c
