Because .depend is wired in make(1). There is no way to stop make(1) to read .depend if exists. There is no way to use an other depend file, e.g. `.depend.i486' or `.depend.hostname'. Example $ mkdep <cpp options> <files> $ mkdep -f .depend.debug -DDEBUG <cpp options> <files> $ mkdep -f .depend.i386 -Di386 <cpp options> <files> You can now include .depend.debug in ./Makefile, but make(1) also read .depend because it exists.
