Here is what I think is going on. I think the code in depend.m4 can
be run even when dependency tracking is irrelevant. On the other
hand, I think an automake-generated Makefile.in will only actually
invoke or require depcomp when it is really possible for it to be used
at build time. That is why I think the logic controlling the
invocation of depcomp should also control when depcomp is required.
Furthermore I think this is what is implemented.
If there is a case I've missed I am willing to address it. But I
don't see one right now. Do you have a concrete bug produced by the
current code?
