Generate makefile dependencies suitable for ghc --make!

When using ghc --make to generate a binary, I'm interested to know what source files was used. I want that information to tell when to regenerate the binary. Yes, I use a gmake files to build my binaries even for ghc generated binaries.

gmake is very convenient and useful as is ghc --make, but it is difficult to combine these two. For now, I can always call ghc --make but it takes extra build times. Especially when there are many binaries to build.

I have considered the -M flag but it seems to be usable for separate compilation only.
