Synopsis: "make most" fails on rmail (RELENG_4)

Responsible-Changed-Why: 
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
