Only if it builds in meta mode I think. You can generate meta files during a normal build but they are valuable for debugging mostly. Perhaps with a heavy set of filtering they might be used to glean correct tree dependencies - but building in meta mode is simpler. Note, and out of date Makefile.depend does not guarantee a build faliure, it introduces a race condition though, each race has its own likelyhood of win/lose of course, so there is often quite a bit of tollerance for out of date dependencies. Anyway, it's a bit early to be worrying about that. Thanks --sjg
