Give to make maintainer.  I believe this may be a bug in make.  If not 
it affects many more programs than rmail (e.g., dig, nslookup, anything 
that uses a static library not installed into /usr/lib). 

Using the rmail example (the first to trip over this since it is in /bin), 
src/rmail/Makefile properly adds a libsm.a dependency (verified in 
.depend file) but make doesn't try to build it if it doesn't exist. 
More over, it claims it does: 

> make /src/FreeBSD/RELENG_4/src/bin/rmail/../../lib/libsm/libsm.a 
`/src/FreeBSD/RELENG_4/src/bin/rmail/../../lib/libsm/libsm.a' is up to date. 
> ls -l !$ 
ls -l /src/FreeBSD/RELENG_4/src/bin/rmail/../../lib/libsm/libsm.a 
ls: /src/FreeBSD/RELENG_4/src/bin/rmail/../../lib/libsm/libsm.a: No such file or directory

I've fixed the false up-to-date matches for .a libraries, 
but this won't fix "make most", the latter should just die.
