I ran 'make cleandir' before attempting to build the tools.  

cleandir   	Same as clean, but also remove preformatted documentation, 
		dependency files generated by ``make depend'', and any other 
		files known to be created at build time.

If the obj symlinks were created at build time, shouldn't 'make
cleandir' remove them?
