It would be nice if 'gcc -MF depfile ...' created/updated depfile
atomically. That would allow 'make' to directly include it, and
not end up in a broken build if gcc is interrupted.
It would be even nicer if this fix was accompanied by some means
to detect it using a feature test (e.g., an autoconf test).
