Why do it in a separate pass at all? Why not just get gcc to do the
dependencies for you when you first build each object, using -MF -MD?
That's a very valid argument, but I think the reason is because
existing build systems expect to do it in a separate pass. I was
working on a patch for mesa to just use gcc directly for generating
the depends, but it was kind of difficult to shoehorn it in without
breaking the build for non-gcc.
