Actually it's most likely your /usr/obj/* that's hosed.  It looks
like a bad .depend file in there.  Just to be sure, though, do an
"ls -A /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo/libtxi" and make sure there's
not a .depend file in the source directory.  (If there is, get rid
of it.)

If I were you, I'd "rm -rf /usr/obj/*" and then do a "make world".
To save time, you can safely add "-DNOCLEAN" since you've already
done the cleaning by removing the /usr/obj tree.

If might also be worthwhile to run a "find" on your source tree
looking for files named ".depend" as well as symlinks or directories
named "obj" or "obj.i386".  Any such things should be removed.
CVSup generally leaves "extra" files alone, so it's not going to get
rid of them for you.
