This behaviour is unintuitive and a change from earlier versions. It appears that the only way to suppress these files is to use the -isystem directive, which is quite gcc specific and hard to use in a makefile that needs to work across different compilers, or that is generated by autoconf. >How-To-Repeat: Compile the file #include <a.h> int main() { } with gcc -I. -MM; this gives a.o: a.c a.h even though a.h should not have been mentioned. >Fix: No real work-around is known.
