The server builds fine with (Open)BSD make, and we'd like to keep it
that way.  And it doesn't support -C.

It's only used for the "relink" target, which isn't actually used for
a normal build.  And it bears a "gross hack" comment in the toplevel
Makefile.  Can you solve this in a different way?  Or perhaps explain
the problem you're trying to solve?  Including "." in SUBDIRS seems
like a gross hack to me as well.
