That's because to 'reuse' the existing object code (compiled during the
last buildworld and stored in /usr/obj) you have to set in your shell's
environment the MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX variable.

If you run buildworld with csh as your shell, this would be:

	csh# setenv MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX /usr/obj

If you are using /bin/sh use:

	# export MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj

Then you should try:

	# cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail
	# make cleandir && make cleandir
	# make obj depend all

I don't know why your buildworld seems to have picked the wrong settings
from make.conf.  Are you *sure* you run a clean build?  This would
require:

	1. Removing /usr/obj

	2. Running "make cleandir cleandir" in /usr/src

	3. Checking /etc/make.conf

	4. Running "buildworld buildkernel"

	5. Installing everything, following the instructions
	   from /usr/src/UPDATING
