hi,
for dependency tracking we currently use targets that fall out
of the gcc -MD command. We store this info in the .cmd file and
include as makefile during the build.

This format put object as target and all the c and header files
as dependencies, like:

  util/abspath.o: util/abspath.c /usr/include/stdc-predef.h util/cache.h \
   /usr/include/bits/wordsize.h /usr/include/gnu/stubs.h \
   ...

If any of those dependency header files (krava.h below) is removed
the build fails on:

  make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'krava.h', needed by 'inc.o'.  Stop.

This patch adds fixdep helper, that is used by kbuild
to alter the shape of the object dependencies like:

  source_util/abspath.o := util/abspath.c

  deps_util/abspath.o := \
    /usr/include/stdc-predef.h \
    util/cache.h \
    ...

  util/abspath.o: $(deps_util/abspath.o)

  $(deps_util/abspath.o):

With this format the header removal won't make the build fail, because
it'll be picked up by the last empty target defined for each header.


thanks,
jirka
