In my working copy of GHC, I removed a file from includes/
 ({{{StgTicky.h}}}) and removed the dependencies on it.

 Then I ran {{{autoreconf}}}, {{{./configure}}}, and finally {{{make}}} at
 the top level.

 I got:
 {{{
 $ make
 make -C utils/mkdependC boot
 make[1]: Entering directory `/home/krc/ghc-hacking/utils/mkdependC'
 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/krc/ghc-hacking/utils/mkdependC'
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 == make boot -r;
  in /home/krc/ghc-hacking/includes
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 make[1]: *** No rule to make target `StgTicky.h', needed by
 `mkDerivedConstants.o'.  Stop.
 }}}

 I eventually figured out that I needed to run {{{make depend}}} in
 {{{includes/}}}, and that updated the dependencies successfully. However,
 shouldn't {{{make boot}}} in {{{includes}}} run {{{make depend}}}?
