Well, my issue is that before Neil "fixed" the Makefile, after a "make
clobber" a "make" would do the job.  Now, there's a dependency on
config.h but the Makefile doesn't know how to make that file.

Maybe it should.

But I've "fixed" it by adding a line to the clean target that removes
the .so files, so I don't have to use "make clobber".
