I'm not absolutely certain, but I think the problem is that with "make 
-k" even if there is a failure, "make install" will install whatever did 
compile.  Then, I end up using most files from that compile, but the 
binary from some previous compile - which make all results invalid.

Now, I'm getting:
make[3]: Entering directory '/usr/local/src/balsa/build/libbalsa/imap'
  CC       auth-cram.o
../../../balsa-git/libbalsa/imap/auth-cram.c:30:30: fatal error: 
net-client-utils.h: No such file or directory
 #include "net-client-utils.h"

which I suspect is a similar type of problem.  net-client-utils.h is in 
sourcedir/libnetclient.  So far, however, I have not been able to see 
exaclty what include dirs are being used.
