_Maybe_ we could work around it by letting fixdep remove the actual
source file from the list of dependencies in the .cmd file. The
dependency on the .c / .S / whatever file is given by the Makefiles, the
.cmd file is only needed for additional dependencies on headers. Let's
see what else breaks then ;).
