It says exactly the same. But you are confusing the flag, -MF is about
naming the output dep filename, i.e. ompi-optg/obj/sys/objects/init.d in
your example, that is just fine, I do get that file with that name.
My issue is with the contents GCC writes within that dep file, specifically
the TARGET, which can be specified with -MT, but it is cumbersome to do,
unless you use "-MT $@", though no idea how to update configure for that.
