The problem is pretty simple: someone broke his INCLUDES variable, so that
the global file in /opt/kde3 is used to compile. Now when you call unsermake
again (it doesn't matter if you link or compile a second time), unsermake sees
the dependencies from kdmfoo.o to /opt/kde3/include/kdmlib.h and sees kdmlib.h
being outdated. And as it happens to know how to update it (by installing) it will
try to please you as much as possible - just too bad you have no rights to do what
you ask it to do.

So the solution is simple too: grep for kdmlib.h in .deps/* and fix the INCLUDES
in that subdir to prefer $(top_srcdir)/kdmlib before everything else.
