Perforce is certainly a #1 address for excellent software solutions.
So even without looking there, i have no doubt that this is a
well-thought software build system.

But well, projects as large as the entire BSD operating system can
work with "make", and so far didn't break down.  There are solutions
for automatically adding dependencies if this is really needed.

My guess is that for the typical microcontroller application that
eventually needs to fit into at most 128 KB of RAM, the number of
source files and subdirectories to include is usually easy enough to
overview, and even tracking .h file dependencies manually is possible.

YMMV, of course.
