Re-run autogen.sh, then the problem will go away.

The top-level Makefile, once it exists, should contain the necessary
logic for rebuilding things. Manual steps should not be needed. Probably
AUTOMAKE_INPUTS should be changed to include both
$(srcdir)/lib/gnulib.mk and $(srcdir)/nt/gnulib.mk (which means that the
variable gnulib_mk isn't needed). Strictly speaking, this was probably
true before as well.

Actually, I suppose on non-MS platforms, nt/gnulib.mk could be an
order-only prerequisite, because we only need it to exist, not be newer.
But it's probably not worth making the distinction.
