find -name .deps -exec rm -rf {} \; did the trick; thanks!

Now I've got another one:

reflections% make                                       ~/gnome/cvs/imlib/utils
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc -g -O2  -o imlib_config  imlib_config.o icons.o testimg.o ../gdk_imlib/libgdk_imlib.la -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk-1.1 -lgdk-1.1 -L/usr/local/lib -lglib-1.1 -lXext -lX11 -lm -lpng -ljpeg -ltiff -lungif -lz  -

This might relate to that whole "the order of your -l flags can screw you
up in some mysterious way" phenomenon which I don't understand.  What I
do know is that the -lpng flag which is prominently in the failing command
should work from everything I know, to wit:

reflections% nm /usr/lib/libpng.a |grep png_set_IHDR    ~/gnome/cvs/imlib/utils
00000120 T png_set_IHDR
         U png_set_IHDR

And libgdk_imlib.so appears to have been built with -lpng as well.

This I do not understand.
