[We've uncovered the root of Jeremy's problem here -- this is a
 problem/limitation of make with VPATH.]

  That's why it isn't being built.  Since it's on the VPATH, make
thinks it already exists in a usable form.  Since the command that
uses it doesn't look for the "most local" version but assumes it
exists in the right place, the command fails.
  This is a problem that exists with VPATH; the built files cannot
already exist in the source directories (hence, the build directories
can't refer to source dirs which have been used as build dirs; "make
clobber" isn't good enough for the Setup* files).
  Remove (or move) the existing file, and it should work fine.
