lib-src/Makefile.in gets circular dependency due to VPATH

[Tim Van Holder]

In GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
 of 2003-01-22 on leeloo
configured using `configure '--with-png' '--with-tiff' '--with-jpeg' 
'--with-gif' '--prefix=/opt/gcc3''


When (re)building emacs, GNU make now complains that it is dropping
circular dependencies on the scripts (rcs2log, etc.).
The problem is that there are rules like

  foo: $(srcdir)/foo

and VPATH contains $(srcdir).  Even if it didn't, I would expect the
same complaint when building in the source directory.
Dropping VPATH or using

  $(builddir)/foo: $(srcdir)/foo

would probably help if srcdir != builddir (so maybe these rules should
be contionalized on that).
