make generally gets run with a working directory in the source tree, not
the build tree (and uses the $(..) variable which ought to be empty at top
level, ../ in a subdirectory). So getting build/../ is particularly odd
(srcdir/../ would require fewer things to be wrong, though of course it
shouldn't appear either).
