I think that's your problem, right there: you need to run "make" from
the `src' directory, not from `src/utils'.  The directories of the
source tree are not necessarily self-contained, so you shouldn't
assume that you can type "make" from every subdirectory and get only
that subdirectory remade.

You should always remake the entire tree.  Does that work for you?
