Actually, it might be more apropriate to fix the "new and improved"
mkdep.c :-) Patch follows...

[Explanation: there is no need for mkdep to create additional problems
with header files - the compile will fail anyway if a needed header file
is missing. So, if mkdep can't access a file at `make depend' time, it
simply skips it]
