That did the trick. Thanks, Ralf.

Hi Stan,

Please try to answer below the text you refer to, thanks.

Never mind.  See below.

5.3, I think.  

Call me stupid, I just forgot how the dependency mechanism was chosen
again:  Basically, there are two classes of mechanisms: ones that are
fast (don't require separate invocation of either compiler or other
tool), and all others, considered slow.  You have to add
  --enable-dependency-tracking
to your configure options in order to enable the slow ones.
All nicely documented, too (see configure --help).

Now my tests show that dashXmstdout is selected, and that should work
with your compiler as well.  Could you confirm that, please?

Regards,
Ralf
