Try the gcc info page:
`-MT TARGET'
Change the target of the rule emitted by dependency generation.
An `-MT' option will set the target to be exactly the string you
specify.
`-MD'
`-MD' is equivalent to `-M -MF FILE', except that `-E' is not
implied.
`-MF FILE'
When used with `-M' or `-MM', specifies a file to write the
dependencies to.
`-M'
Instead of outputting the result of preprocessing, output a rule
suitable for `make' describing the dependencies of the main source
file. The preprocessor outputs one `make' rule containing the
object file name for that source file, a colon, and the names of
all the included files, including those coming from `-include' or
`-imacros' command line options.
`-MP'
This option instructs CPP to add a phony target for each dependency
other than the main file, causing each to depend on nothing.
