Problem with autoconf autodepend


The build of emacs from cvs source recently started failing because the build system added autodepend support. The associated configure test succeeds, but the feature itself doesn't work reliably. The simple workaround is to configure with --disable-autodepend, but I thought I should report this in case it indicates a cygwin problem and/or an autoconf problem. Of course, I'd also like to know if it's an emacs problem so I can report it to them.

Here's the relevant excerpt from configure.in:

   if test $HAVE_GNU_MAKE = yes; then
      AC_MSG_CHECKING([whether gcc understands -MMD -MF])
      SAVE_CFLAGS="$CFLAGS"
      CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -MMD -MF deps.d"
      AC_TRY_COMPILE([], [], , ac_enable_autodepend=no)
      CFLAGS="$SAVE_CFLAGS"
      test -f deps.d || ac_enable_autodepend=no
      rm -rf deps.d
      AC_MSG_RESULT([$ac_enable_autodepend])
   fi
   if test $ac_enable_autodepend = yes; then
      AC_DEFINE(AUTO_DEPEND, 1, [Generate dependencies with gcc.])
   fi

And here's the build failure:

gcc -c -Demacs -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/tmp/emacs/src -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/libpng12 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -g -O2 -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wno-pointer-sign -MMD -MF deps/ecrt0.d /tmp/emacs/src/ecrt0.c
/tmp/emacs/src/ecrt0.c:106: fatal error: opening dependency file deps/ecrt0.d: No such file or directory
