>Description:
	In gcc 3.1, -MM prints dependencies even to files included with
	angle brackets (<foo.h>), if those are found through -I options.
	This behaviour is unintuitive and a change from earlier versions.

	It appears that the only way to suppress these files is to use the
	-isystem directive, which is quite gcc specific and hard to use
	in a makefile that needs to work across different compilers, or
	that is generated by autoconf.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Compile the file

	#include <a.h>

	int
	main()
	{
	}

	with gcc -I. -MM; this gives

	a.o: a.c a.h

	even though a.h should not have been mentioned.

>Fix:
	No real work-around is known.
