-*** "No rule to make target" with Ubuntu 8.04 make 3.81-3build1

-Compiling the lisp files fails at random places, complaining:
-"No rule to make target '/path/to/some/lisp.elc'".
-The causes of this problem are not understood. Using GNU make 3.81 compiled
-from source, rather than the Ubuntu version, worked.
