Jean-Marc added this file to the repository fairly recently.
On my machine I have just installed automake 1.5. It's version of depcomp
contains:
# The Tru64 AIX compiler uses -MD to generate dependencies as a side
# effect. `cc -MD -o foo.o ...' puts the dependencies into `foo.o.d'.
# At least on Alpha/Redhat 6.1, Compaq CCC V6.2-504 seems to put
# dependencies in `foo.d' instead, so we check for that too.
# Subdirectories are respected.
tmpdepfile1="$object.d"
tmpdepfile2=`echo "$object" | sed -e 's/.o$/.d/'`
if test "$libtool" = yes; then
"$@" -Wc,-MD
else
"$@" -MD
fi
so, you see, this contains the bug too.
As I see it, the automake list needs to be informed, and in the meantime we
should use our patched version of depcomp.
Can I leave this with you please.
Angus
