That's very interesting. I wasn't aware that $(NAD2BIN) was set in
Platform.make - it wasn't there in 6.0 so seems to have been added some
time before 6.2. From a brief look at it I think the NAD2BIN line in
lib/proj/Makefile should have been removed at the time NAD2BIN was added
to Platform.make. So from what I can make out, it seems like you've
discovered an interesting long-standing bug. Deleting the NAD2BIN line in
lib/proj/Makefile seems like the obvious way to solve it - does that fix 
it?
