[tlbuild] very minor makefile fixes

[Martin Ruckert]

Hi Vincenzo,

I am the responsible person for hitex. You mention that
the use of himktables to generate hitables.c complicates
cross compiling. I am not too familiar with cross compiling.
The extra detour to create himktables and then create hitables.c
is a consequence of "literate programing": It is easier to explain
how the tables are made than explaining the tables directly.

For cross compiling, the program himktables should be compiled for
and run on the host machine to generate hitables.c, which then
should be compiled and linked for the target machine.
If this process is more complicated than I had expected,
it is possible to supply hitables.c as part of the sources
directly, because nothing in it depends on the Compiler or
OS or the target machine.
What do you suggest?

Best regards
   Martin
