Makefile: lazily compute header dependencies
Use the gcc -MMD -MP -MF options to generate dependency rules as
a byproduct when building .o files if the
COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES variable is defined. That variable
is left undefined by default for now.
As each object file is built, write a makefile fragment
containing its dependencies in the deps/ subdirectory of its
containing directory. The deps/ directories should be generated
if they are missing at the start of each build. So let each
object file depend on $(missing_dep_dirs), which lists only the
directories of this kind that are missing to avoid needlessly
regenerating files when the directories' timestamps change.
gcc learned the -MMD -MP -MF options in version 3.0, so most gcc
users should have them by now.
The dependencies this option computes are more specific than the
rough estimates hard-coded in the Makefile, greatly speeding up
rebuilds when only a little-used header file has changed.
