Your .deps directory has a makefile fragment referring to the original path to that .c file, which make is including and hence barfing. I think re-running automake is all that's needed, which should have happened automatically. The ntp.org reference implementation of NTP includes a "deps-ver" mechanism that allows a developer renaming or deleting files in a way that will trigger this sort of .deps-related build break for those tracking the source and rebuilding using an existing build directory to bump the "deps-ver", which triggers removal of stale .deps/ contents, so they will be rebuilt correctly. The sentinel file /deps-ver (whose contents are changed, or "bumped" to trigger the cleanup). depsver.mf contains the logic and must be included in the Makefile.am files using Automake's automatic dependency tracking.
