DBDINSTALL files should be specified without a directory.
The rules in RULES.Host will install DBDINSTALL files from
either the src directory or the O.* directory.
The clean rule in RULES.Host is the problem. It does a remove
of $(DBDINSTALL). I will change "$(DBDINSTALL)" to "*.dbd"
in the clean rule so it removes only created dbd files in the
O.* directory. This change will appear in the next R3.13 release.

Who can fix this?
Discovered a problem with the R3.13.7/base/config/RULES.Host
while building in the source tree of a top level directory.
In the $(TOP)/topApp/src/Makefile.Host file, there is a directive
DBDINSTALL += ../topShare.dbd
When I issue a
    cd $(TOP)/topApp/src
    gnumake rebuild
in that $(TOP)/topApp/src/ directory, the process fails
with a complaint that it cannot rebuild  topShare.dbd.
Inspection of the directory shows that the process
has deleted the file!
After reinstalling that file, I compare the result with
    cd $(TOP)
    gnumake rebuild
This works properly.
This is not good. This has happened for some time
now (maybe since at least 3.13.0).  I believe this to
be a general problem which is not specific to the
mca5_1/mcaApp/src directory being rebuilt at the time.
