it's in the following file:
coda-4.6.1/coda-src/fail/Makefile.in
------------------------------------------------------------
FLIBS = ${LIBRPC2} ${LIBSE} ${LIBOLDLWP} ${LIBUTIL} ${LIBCOMPAT} \
       ${LIBREADLINE} ${LIBTERMCAP}
------------------------------------------------------------

and then i guess the dependency comes from:
coda-4.6.1/configs/Makerules
------------------------------------------------------------
%.a:
        $(AR) rv $@ $?
        $(RANLIB) $@
------------------------------------------------------------

the log is finally here:
------------------------------------------------------------
----> Entering fail
make[2]: Entering directory
`/mount/packages-2/src/coda/coda-4.6.1/coda-src/fail'

hope this helps, thanks for the answer to my previous question
(#include <linux/time.h>).
