No, why should it? The filr eredirection happens just once, in the shell, even before xargs gets executed. It does not matter how often mkdep gets called then. Gah. You're right, of course ;/ I'd suggest (beware, manually hacked diff ;): I have no idea what you're trying to fix or improve with this. problem is in front of keyboard Oder so.
