      Like Mark mentioned, my first reaction was skipping the make depend.

      And that did not cause any trouble for compiling.

 A cause of a lot of them is the block of:

#define stdin stdin
#define stdout stdout
#define stderr stderr

 in stdio.h

 I just put an #if 0 /#endif block around those, and that helps out a lot. 
Apparantly, glibc does that for c89/c99 standards (or so the comment claims),
but make depend really doesn't like it.

 I haven't seen any ill effects of doing that.
