Since around 2-3 months ago, you don't need to run "make depend" at all :-).

I think it's still used internally. If you run `make depend' then
'make' you'll see it will go a bit faster because the dependencies are
already precomputed.

When you run `make`, `make depend` is called automatically so you
don't need to call it explicitly.
