With the make shipped with Debian and Ubuntu (and also the current CVS version) it is impossible to build the reference policy because make always complains about "make: Circular tmp/all_te_files.conf <- corenetwork.te dependency dropped." and produces incorrect output.

I'm not sure if this is a bug in make (see https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=13529 , it seems like vpath and .SECONDARY interact badly here); this small patch fixes the problem by not using .SECONDARY. I think it doesn't have any negative consequences, but I don't know all the make black magic, so maybe one of the make gurus can comment.
