All these ``something like''s might well hide the real problem.  It is 
always best to post the exact Makefile in its entirety.

You could try invoking Make with the -d switch.  It produces humongously

target needed updating.  If you cannot figure it out, post the output of 
"make -d" and the full Makefile here.
