It is purely your Cygwin and/or Windows problem.  Makedepend should be able
to rename Makefiles and executables, if it cannot it is not a bug in
makedepend
rather your Cygwin setup, and/or Windows setup issue.

 You can try grabing the new code from CVS and see if it helps you.  The new
code
uses gccmakedepend, instead of Makedepend.  Or, you can try adding

#define UseGccMakeDepend YES to cygwin.cf

PS: Answer to Cygwin-Xfree mailing list.  I do not WANT e-mails coming
directly to me.
I have mentioned WAY TOO MANY TIMES.  Spearheading an Open Source project
does not mean
contributors should also take the responsibilities of getting their mail
boxes full
with direct mail.

Thanks
