Follow-up Comment #2, bug #59243 (project make):
Regarding rm: this is needed in case the .d file is not writable for some
reason.
As mentioned by Martin, the suggested replacement -MM doesn't work for all
compilers.
I do agree that this code is still too obscure.
Really this entire section should be rewritten to include the "modern" method
of dependency tracking, described here:

It does lose us our big example for the usefulness of rebuilding included
makefiles though :)
