That is another bug.  The main bug is that the perl install looks at
timestamps (install targets shouldn't depend on anything).

This is from gnu/usr.bin/perl/library/SDBM_File/../Makefile.inc.  No problems

This is from the automatically generated Makefile in the obj directory.  This
Makefile is nothing like a BSD makefile and has bugs like:

install :: all pure_install doc_install

This causes things to be built at install time if they are out of date.
