I can *NOT* reproduce the issue on Debian stretch (gawk 4.1.4, make 4.1). Also, here the .deps/ directory is not being generated by make -qp. Back to Debian unstable / Arch / Fedora 30. I tested with good old wget and see the same issue. The command sequence is git clone https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget.git cd wget ./bootstrap cd gnulib git checkout master git pull cd .. git commit -m "update gnulib" gnulib ./bootstrap ./configure make syntax-check This also creates the .deps/ directory. So maybe make 4.2.1 has a bug as it creates files though -q is given. But then, why can't you reproduce with the same version of make ? Earlier in this thread I attached a Dockerfile that makes it pretty easy to reproduce. If you don't use docker, I could send you the complete make -qp output. Regards, Tim
