That will not work, since the .depend in question is one that is coming from
some random place make is searching for. Some /lib/gnu or something such i
think it was. Samuel or Julien, do you remember the exact thing ? 

I think the patch would be to have a :

.depend dep: ...

target, and do a make dep instead of the make .depend.

Also, maybe we have to mark dep as phony or something, not sure what that
brings though.
