Actually, they probably can't fix this, since `make' only works for
makefiles with no syntax errors, and .depend is part of a makefile.
`make cleandir' from a top level directory might work by deleting
all the object subdirectories.

I saw a whole lot of .depend errors while playing with -j<too_big> the
other day.  .depend files got filled with cpp output, perhaps because
mkdep got mismade.
