Yes, the dependencies should always be auto-generated, but people do
tend to add them by hand. Perhaps because of not knowing about
"make dep-am", perhaps because of running into difficulties. Some of
the differences at the moment simply look like changes have been made
to #include's without running "make dep-am".
Note that "make dep-am" should be run in a bfd dir that has been
configured with --enable-64-bit-bfd.

Done.
