For the record, I did *not* (and I right now do not) consider this behaviour as an "issue" when I mentioned it. It's like building with a setting that requires some compat/ stuff and then cleaning without the setting, no? i.e. cruft left behind is something the user deserves to see.

Since there is no other useful purpose for these .depend directories to exist, I do not mind if "make clean" removed them, though ;-)

Thanks.
