When someone changes the type of "foo" from file to directory,
this is exactly what happens.  sbin/ipf/ipf was a file, which
has a recorded dependency in your stale .depend file.  Now,
sbin/ipf/ipf is a directory, and it has a :: type of dependency
provided by bsd.subdir.mk in sbin/ipf/Makefile, hence the error
from make(1).  Just blow away your /usr/obj/usr/src/sbin/ipf.
I'm considering changing bsd.subdir.mk to prevent this from
happening again and again.
