As a side noe, a missing build target "../lib/libgnu.a" is easily produced:

   $ ./configure CFLAGS="-Wall"
   $ gmake clean
   $ gmake -C talk/
     [...]
   make: *** No rule to make target `../lib/libgnu.a', needed by `talk'. Stop

Thus I draw the conclusion that the build files `*/Makefile' are incomplete,
since their interpretation depends on their order of application.
