Not an oversight at all.  The make depend was of dubious value as it
still didn't actually function properly - it would catch very
simplistic dependencies but not more complex ones, resulting in
kernels which failed in weird and interesting ways.

I think anyone using `make depend' in /sys/compile/FOO and expecting
it to work across multiple configs/changes is just asking for trouble,
and I have ample evidence to prove it!

Note that I'm not saying that this _shouldn't_ work, simply that it
does not currently do so reliably enough to be counted upon.
