Package: gcc-4.1
Version: 4.1.1-21
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

When using "-MG", gcc doesn't give an error message, neither exits
with nonzero status when included files don't exist, even if not
only preprocessing ("-M"), but also when actually compiling ("-MD").

This can, in extreme cases, lead to miscompilation (if the included
file e.g. redefines existing macros), usually only to surprising
errors (the results of missing declarations from the include file,
without a leading hint to its absence).

% cat foo.c
#include "non-existing-file"
% gcc -MD -MG -c foo.c
% echo $?
0

I report this against gcc-4.1 as newer gcc versions fail completely
with "-MD -MG" (Debian bug #593086). These two issues might be
related.
