The 'fips' option is now disabled by default.

For the 'makedepend' option, several people raised concerns whether the 
disadvantages of disabling it
wouldn't outweigh the performance gain at build time, see discussion in pull 
request #15050.
So I decided to drop pull request, the 'makedepend' option remains enabled by 
default.
