--- Comment #7 from John Adriaan <John.Adriaan at BigPond dot com> ---
For `ld` to produce a dependency file for `make` to parse is a great idea, but
for a use case not so far given - and one that is MUCH closer to the reason the
compiler does so: include files.

`ld` supports the INCLUDE command, to include a sub-part of the whole linker
script. But if a change is made to only such an include file, `make` won't
re-link the executable.

If `ld` is updated to produce a dependency file, please ensure it also lists
any specified `INCLUDE` files.
