building outside of source tree fails - making wrong makedep

[Michael [Plouj] Ploujnikov]

My Wine source is in ~/apps/wine-git. I'm trying to build Wine inside
~/apps/build_dir.

So, I do this:

$ mkdir ~/apps/build_dir
$ cd ~/apps/build_dir
$ ../wine-git/configure --x-libraries=/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/
LDFLAGS="-L/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib -L/emul/linux/x86/lib" --verbose &>
config.output
# config.output attached
# Then I run make, and this is where it fails:
$ make
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/plouj/apps/build_dir/tools'
../tools/makedep -C../../wine-git/tools -S../../wine-git -T.. -I/usr/include/fre
etype2 bin2res.c fnt2bdf.c fnt2fon.c make_ctests.c makedep.c relpath.c sfnt2fnt.

make[1]: `../../wine-git/tools/makedep' is up to date.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/plouj/apps/build_dir/tools'
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/plouj/apps/build_dir/libs'
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/plouj/apps/build_dir/libs/port'

gsetjmp.c spawn.c statvfs.c strcasecmp.c strerror.c strncasecmp.c usleep.c
....

What this looks like to me is make trying to build
../../wine-git/tools/makedep which already exists, but it's trying to
use ../tools/makedep, which doesn't exist, to actually build other
stuff.

I am trying to build Wine on Gentoo AMD64. You can see that the
configure command is already convoluted to achieve that. Wine _does_
build if I run make inside the source directory. It has been working
fine since before 0.9.10. That is not what I'm doing here.
I don't know anything about how make works and especially about how
the Makefiles in Wine are setup so I would appreciate any help to
track down this problem.
It's been suggested that maybe this happens because my system is
broken, but I don't want to come to that conclusion without any
evidence. My goal is not to simply blame someone but to actually fix
what is broken.

There should be no makedep in the source tree. You probably ran make
there, you can't do that, you should either build in the source dir or
in the build dir but not both.
