More make boot / make depend problems
Continuing my adventure in trying to delete an include file, I ran make boot under compiler/ to update the dependencies there, and eventually got:
$ make
make: *** No rule to make target `../includes/StgTicky.h', needed by `stage1/parser/cutils.o'. Stop.I couldn't find any mention of StgTicky.h anywhere under the ghc tree, except in the .depend files in compiler/. Every time I ran make depend or make boot in compiler/ again, it just re-generated that dependency (seemingly out of nowhere). I finally asked Ian and he suggested deleting all the files beginning with .depend in compiler/, and that worked -- when I ran make depend after that, it correctly figured out that there was no dependency on StgTicky.h anymore.
I don't understand how the dependency-finding works, but this seems like a bug to me.
