Well, we'll still see the same kinds of reports from developers using
non-GCC compilers (surely there are some) ... so enable-depend isn't
going to magically make the issue go away.

Personally I tend to rebuild from "make clean" whenever I've done
anything nontrivial, and certainly after a CVS sync; so I have no use
for enable-depend. But as long as I can turn it off, I don't object
to changing the default.
