This is a bug in V's makefiles, especially in makefiles generated by the
appgen tool.  appgen appends v_defs.h, without the proper leading path,  
as a dependent file to almost all target entries in the makefile.

You can either remove the references to v_defs.h, or edit it to give the
proper path by editing it to $(VPATH)/v_defs.h

In truth, there's nothing special about v_defs.h that calls for it to be
singled out in the makefile when all of the other V *.h files are being
ignored.
