If you look in the libgloss/rs6000 directory, you will see that there are rules to build fstat.o,
putnum.o, etc..  

close.o: $(srcdir)/../close.c
fstat.o: $(srcdir)/../fstat.c
getpid.o: $(srcdir)/../getpid.c
isatty.o: $(srcdir)/../isatty.c
kill.o: $(srcdir)/../kill.c
lseek.o: $(srcdir)/../lseek.c
open.o: $(srcdir)/../open.c
putnum.o: $(srcdir)/../putnum.c
sbrk.o: $(srcdir)/../sbrk.c
stat.o: $(srcdir)/../stat.c
unlink.o: $(srcdir)/../unlink.c


As you can see, they use source files one directory up.  What does your Makefile set srcdir to?  You
might also try going to the libgloss/rs6000 directory and do a make fstat.o putnum.o ....
