Here are my thoughts on the whole issue.

 - src/compat/Makefile should descend into external, just like the top
   level Makefile does.

 - it happened to work until now because src/lib/Makefile descends into
   the relevant directories.

 - my theory about src/lib/Makefile is that it is meant to be stand-
   alone, i.e. you can make obj dependall there and it will work even
   with an empty obj dir.  That's why it is necessary for it to go to
   external/bsd/openldap/lib (stuff under src/lib need it).

   If this is correct, I'm not sure why atf gets referenced there, so
   it might be possible to remove it.  On the other hand, it would
   probably mean descending into external/bsd/bind is needed there.

But yeah, between the weird Makefiles under src/compat, the magic top-
level targets in src/Makefile and the src/lib/Makefile shortcuts, it's
confusing.
