Great, thanks for taking the time to reproduce.

That makes me wonder if it is related to the gcc or make version. I couldn't reproduce the problem on my gcc-4.1 system, though. My make is:

  $ make --version
  GNU Make 3.81
  [...]

After this step, what does builtin/.depend/fetch.o.d contain? It should show a dependency of builtin/fetch.o on string-list (among other things).

Can you try running "make -d builtin/fetch.o" here instead of "make all install"? Can you confirm that it reads builtin/.depend/fetch.o, and that fetch.o gets rebuilt (you should even be able to see the list of "newer than" dependencies in the debug output)?

Another thing to double-check: does it work if you instead run

  make all install COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES=no
