It appears that you no longer have the file `src/xdr/depend', which
was in the distribution.  You should recreate it before continuing.  I
suggest the following:

    1.  Go to the `src/xdr/' directory.

    2.  Execute the command `touch depend'.

    3.  Execute the command `make depend'.

    4.  Go up one level to the `src/' directory.

    5.  Execute the command `./config.status'.

You should then be able to procede with a `make all'.

Please let me know if this helps.
