I see there is already a configure test for this in
config/BuildSystem/config/compilers.py using -with-dependencies=1
[default] - but no makefile flag is set.

So perhaps the following fix? [in balay/gmake-config-dpecheck]

Matt, BTW: does this thing have to do a link test using -MMD?
[Shouldn't it be a compile only test?]

thanks,
