IMHO the Wiki is wrong, also the phrase is not crystal clear to me: "If 
prompted" meaning? "Even if prompted to do so" or "If _not_ prompted"?
Anyway, the header-file-not-found issue is a bug, of course, apart from 
the necessity of running "make depend" or not. I doubt that without 
running "make depend" you'd do better.
