The previous version used "$srcdir", which wasn't defined in that
Makefile, and would have been wrong even if it was, so I can't see how
it could ever have worked for you. It works for me now with make 3.82 if
either mod-test.c or emacs-module.h is changed. I don't see how this
could be specific to some version of make.

Me neither. :)
