I amended the log message like so: commit bd9df384b16077337fffe9836c9255976b0e7b91 Author: Matt Kraai <matt.kraai@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Feb 13 07:57:48 2013 -0800 Makefile: don't run rm without any files When COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES is set to "auto" and the compiler does not support it, $(dep_dirs) becomes empty. "make clean" runs "rm -rf $(dep_dirs)", which fails in such a case.
