Bug#118908: make TAGS does not work without having run configure

[Neal H Walfield]

Package: Hurd


Running `make TAGS' in an unconfigured source tree fails.  It would be
nice if this target had no dependencies.  Here is the output:


        neal@desdemona:~/src/hurd (0)$ make TAGS
        Makeconf:66: config.make: No such file or directory
        make -C debian directory-depend no_deps=t
        make[1]: Entering directory `/home/neal/src/hurd/debian'
        ../Makeconf:66: ../config.make: No such file or directory
        make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../config.make'.  Stop.
        make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/neal/src/hurd/debian'
        make: *** [debian.d] Error 2
        neal@desdemona:~/src/hurd (2)$ 

If I do run configure, all of the .d files are produced.  This is
completely unnecessary.

        neal@desdemona:~/src/hurd (0)$ make TAGS
        make -C debian directory-depend no_deps=t
        make[1]: Entering directory `/home/neal/src/hurd/debian'

        echo debian:   > ../debian.d

        make -C doc directory-depend no_deps=t
        make[1]: Entering directory `/home/neal/src/hurd/doc'
        set -e; (echo "hurd.info hurd.dvi: \\"; grep '^@include ' hurd.texi | \
                 sed -e 's/^[^  ]*[     ]*\([^  ]*\).*$/        \1 \\/'; \
                 echo) > hurd.d.new
        mv -f hurd.d.new hurd.d
        make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/neal/src/hurd/doc'

        etc.
