You can get this information from gcc and use it to define 100% 
correct dependencies. However, it highlights another issue common 
for build tools not coupled with compiler - to generate 
dependency graph reliably you need now to parse all the source 
files which contradicts one of core motivations to do it. The way 
C preprocessor works does not help the matter either.
