Because this:

done
rm -f *.[hHcC] *.bak
.fd.C:
${SHELL} ./fdfix.sh $<
Does not take $(srcdir) and $(builddir) into account.
Instead of changing how fd->C files are generated and compiled, I'd
like a lot better at this stage to just insert the $(srcdir) and
$(builddir) where approp.
It is even possible that we should just disallow fd->C generation when
srcdir != builddir.

Make solves this automatically for you.
This is 1.3 stuff.

Let's do that in 1.3 then.
