I do not have much experience with depcomp, but this looks like a
bug; one header should not depend on another one.

The question is who is in charge for this wrong dependency.
Is it the depcomp script?  Or the compiler called from it?

It seems that Ralf cannot reproduce your problem; can you debug it
and point your finger to the utility which is causing this?
Is that utility free software, ie., under our control?
Or is it a vendor compiler?

I hope my questions help to find the solution.
