Daniel,

src/etc/sendmail/Makefile is correct, and your suggested change is wrong.
The *.cf files are generated during the build and placed in the object
directory (the canonical path being /usr/obj/usr/src/etc/sendmail),
which is the current working directory when make(1) is run.

Also, as a general note, while running "make distribution", and especially
when cross-building with TARGET_ARCH/TARGET, run it from the top-level
src/Makefile, and not from src/etc/Makefile directly.
