 This can't be right.  ss_err.h is in ${.OBJDIR} and shouldn't be
 in ${.CURDIR} unless ${.OBJDIR} == ${.CURDIR}.  You apparently have
 ${.OBJDIR} != ${.CURDIR} and a garbage copy of ss_err.h in ${.CURDIR}.
 The exists() builtin is "intelligent".  It searches both ${.OBJDIR}
 and ${.CURDIR} (in who-knows-what order) and finds the garbage copy.
 
 Fixes:
 1. Run `make cleandir' before switching object directories.
 2. Remove garbage using rm.
 3. Use the unambiguous path ${.OBJDIR}/ss_err.h in the exists() test.
