OK. Of course I was wrong! This situation can happens if the build is
interupted and then restarted, but also if a build is done without a
'make clean' before. This is because the Makefile behaves like:
XX = $(DD)/.foo
build: $(XX)
$(XX):
echo XX
touch $(XX)
DD= /tmp
In this situation make build always rebuild! I'm sure that this bug
can be found in a couple of other ports. I'll fix them this week end.
