Use the gcc -MMD -MP -MF options to generate dependency rules as a byproduct when building .o files if the COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES variable is defined. That variable is left undefined by default for now. As each object file is built, write a makefile fragment containing its dependencies in the deps/ subdirectory of its containing directory. The deps/ directories should be generated if they are missing at the start of each build. So let each object file depend on $(missing_dep_dirs), which lists only the directories of this kind that are missing to avoid needlessly regenerating files when the directories' timestamps change. gcc learned the -MMD -MP -MF options in version 3.0, so most gcc users should have them by now. The dependencies this option computes are more specific than the rough estimates hard-coded in the Makefile, greatly speeding up rebuilds when only a little-used header file has changed.
