This basically causes it to invoke gcc this way:
gcc -g -O2 -c hello.c -MT hello.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/hello.TPo

Which now causes warning of this kind:
gcc: unrecognized option `-MF'

This has worked for gcc-3.0.x up to 3.0.4, but has stopped working with post-3.0.4 gcc's from the gcc-3.0-branch.

AFAI understand, probably this patch below is the origin of this problem:

	preprocessor/3951
	* gcc.c (cpp_options): Pass -MD through as -MD not -M -MF.       
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile an arbitrary C-sources with gcc-3.0.5 from CVS/gcc-3-0-branch depcomp-style:

Eg.:
gcc -g -O2 -c hello.c -MT hello.o -MD -MP -MF deps/hello.TPo

gcc: unrecognized option `-MF'
