>Description:
In gcc 3.1, -MM prints dependencies even to files included with
angle brackets (<foo.h>), if those are found through -I options.
This behaviour is unintuitive and a change from earlier versions.
It appears that the only way to suppress these files is to use the
-isystem directive, which is quite gcc specific and hard to use
in a makefile that needs to work across different compilers, or
that is generated by autoconf.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile the file
#include <a.h>
int
main()
{
}
with gcc -I. -MM; this gives
a.o: a.c a.h
even though a.h should not have been mentioned.
>Fix:
No real work-around is known.
