Could you elaborate? I don't think I understand the problem.
What I had in mind was having configure detect GNU Make and
enable/disable (equivalent of AM_CONDITIONAL) the dependency
tracking code in the generated Makefile. So timestamps shouldn't
matter; the only new failure mode is that if you modify a header,
the source files including it might not be automatically rebuilt.
