>Description:
	Doing a non-exportable `make build' to an empty $DESTDIR fails
	while trying to build compile_et due to the fact that `make includes'
	hasn't been run yet.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Start with a clean source tree.

	Make sure EXPORTABLE_SYSTEM isn't set and that the domestic bits
	are available.

	Create an empty directory, and set DESTDIR to its path.

	Type `make build' at the top level of the source tree.

	Watch it die while trying to build compile_et.
>Fix:
	Clearly, trying to build executables before installing include
	files is a broken concept, and must not be attempted, _even_if_
	that executable is required to generate the include files.
	Therefore, the compile_et and make_cmds pieces should be removed
	from the top-level build target.
