Er,

The correct fix would be to revert this change from sendmail/Makefile,
and fix mergemaster(8) instead, as shown in the attached patch.  The
"distribution" target of src/etc/Makefile is part of the standard
"distribute" target, and as such it's just a specialized version of
the "install" target that should not _build_ anything (and that was
fixed in rev. 1.23).  To build things, one needs to call the "all"
target, which the attached patch simply does.  It's just a pure
coincidence that the "distribution" part of src/etc/Makefile does
not need to build anything (in the object directory).

Can you please test it and commit?
