    This is a bug in the other Makefiles. It is not needed for full builds,
    and breaks some cases for building just one utility (ones where libraries
    are consistent with <sys> but not with ${CURDIR}/../../sys, and the
    utility sources are either old so that they match <sys> or haven't
    changed so much that they need new system headers). It is just a hack
    that "fixes" a different set of cases (ones where the utility sources
    match ${CURDIR}/../../sys, and the installed libraries are either new
    so that they match ${CURDIR}/../../sys but not <sys> (unlikely) or
    haven't change so much that they don't work with utilities compiled
    with new system headers).

    I thought that ru fixed it. Well, that was a long time ago and the
    bug seems to be mainly in newer Makefiles. ps/Makefile was fixed in
    rev.1.14 (2001/05/18).
