Intermittent C++ make build failure

[externl]

I've been seeing this somewhat frequently recently. Maybe a parallel build issue? Doing a clean build fixes it (not sure when running make a second time.

On which platform did you get this issue?

macOS

I think it's a bug in our source-to-dependency gmake function that doesn't handle well the new relative path.

(where "dependency" means the .d file)

here source = ../Ice/BuiltinSequences.ice and we don't look for the .d file in the correct location.

Unfortunately my attempted fix did not change anything:

next time this fails will be good to try "make -d -jXX" and see if we can figure out the issue from the debug output.
