Hmm, try deleting the build tree and start again. Sometimes, what
happens to me is that somebody adds a new directory, and my build tree
does not contain it. It's easy to fix: when I had a slower computer
what I did was create the offending directory and symlink the makefile.
Nowadays I just wipe the whole thing and let the build directory be
constructed again by configure. That gets things in sync.

Now that I look closer, however, this was always with source dirs, not
include dirs. I think the problem here is that you're not passing -d to
"cvs update".
