The problem is that those not using -DNOCLEAN are affected as well.
The explanation lies in the fact that before these changes were
repo-backed-out, "tip" used to be a PROG under usr.bin/tip, and
as such /usr/obj/usr/src/usr.bin/tip/.depend had a regular ":"
dependency line for "tip". Now, "tip" is back again a SUBDIR,
and bsd.subdir.mk has the following line that correlates with
the dependency line from a stale .depend:
${SUBDIR}::
