So I took your Makefile (and added TABs in all the right places) and I 
built a simple directory structure like this:

mayes/Makefile

mayes/src/connection.c
mayes/src/llist.c
mayes/src/main.c

mayes/inc/llist.h
mayes/inc/connection.h
mayes/inc/main.h

mayes/obj/

And I ran 'make'.  No problems.  Then I did a 'touch src/connection.c' 
and 'make' and it ran fine.  So doesn't look to me like there's a 
problem in your Makefile.

I'm wondering if there's something odd with the NFS mount.

(If you want I can TAR up my example directory and you can tell me if it 
works for you).
