Ah, building out of tree is what was broken.  I hadn't gotten that from your

Again, first I've heard of it.

Let's see, the last time I touched Rules.mak was 14923 (to fix 
-funsigned-char), and reverting to that works just fine.  And reverting 
_just_ Rules.mak fixes it, so it's one of the three checkins since then (two

Reverting the most recent change to Rules.mak fixes building out of tree:

I'm not sure what this change was trying to accomplish in the first place, but 
I'll see if I can come up with a patch...
