[Bug preprocessor/41329] New: -M does not properly escape special characters.

[akim dot demaille at gmail dot com]

Colon (:) is definitely a special character for Make.  GCC seems not to be
willing to protect it though.  Even if I use -MQ for the target name.

$ echo "int i; " > c:c.c
$ gcc -c -M c:c.c
c:c.o: c:c.c
$ gcc -c -M c:c.c -MQ :
:: c:c.c

(it does not seem to be working for '*' either, nor '%').
