I am trying to do VPATH builds of R3.1.3, i.e. binaries built outside

Answering my own question - it appears that if a build has already been
done in the source directory, this problem occurs. With a pristine
source directory a VPATH build works as expected.

The problem is the incorrect expectations.  See
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/General-Search.html .

And BTW, the OS is called 'OS X' and has been for a long time.
