There is something really fishy going on here. When I try

franksen@tiber: ~/tmp/inc-bug > make -k inc

I get the same error. However, but bla.h gets created and installed:

franksen@tiber: ~/tmp/inc-bug > find -name bla.h
./bugApp/O.vxWorks-ppc603/bla.h
./bugApp/O.vxWorks-68040/bla.h
./include/bla.h
./include/os/vxWorks/bla.h

But there is now ./include/bla.h which is not what I want.

Cheers
Ben
