does "make mrproper unpack prepare" get the same error?

Probably a bug. Not a critical though.

Hm... It's a difficult question. I believe it's due to historical reasons, and 
it's the place where all Makefiles reside.

No. update_md5sum is a development tool, need to recalculate checksums for 
updated sources. In you case, you need to run "update_src" to get sources and 
"cvs -z3 
-d:pserver:ano...@de...:/cvsroot/devil-linux co 
build" to update scripts (and checksum file)
