I just had a look at that test, and it seems like a very crappy test to me. I had some failures with cl, but figured it was the same as these Tru64 failures that I had seen flying past, and put it all on the back burner. But the test is destined to cause troubles if IIUC. It's just dead wrong to assume that feeding -M or -xM to the compiler (or whatever other random stuff depcomp might do) and not get an error is the same as dependencies magically appearing. Or do I read the test wrong? Please tell me that I do! gcc needs to be required, or something, or we will suffer from FAILs with every other odd compiler (that doesn't deserve them). Cheers, Peter
