Hmmm, well the make depend target is still done, but it usually don't do
much when nothings changed.
If egcs does a cleandir no matter wof UPDATE, that sounds like someone

I haven't run my 3500 in a while now, so I'm almost forgetting the time

(The reason for not running the 3500 is that I'm trying to get a pdp-11
