This is bogus.  if you _ever_ need a 'make depend' before a build of a
clean source tree, somebody has broken the source tree.  (Further, if
there's no way to do a complete build without also building
dependencies, something is broken as well.)

Point me to the problems, and i'll be glad to file some bug reports.
or, do them yourself if you want.
