That's possible indeed. There are discussions whether to support all
compilers deps file formats inside Ninja or in another program (see
the deplist branch and discussion thread). The deplist branch is an
attempt to provide a common format to store the dependencies in a
fast-to-parse format.
Currently, it is not merged yet and Ninja still relies on its own
parser which is probably not bug free and does not have all the
work-around required for all compilers versions.
So, should I post this issue on the ninja list?
I am also wondering if we could create a cmake depend generator for
ninja. Then if the compiler did not support -M in a format that ninja
likes, it could fall back to the cmake version. It would be interesting
if we could do it at a target level so that it would work better one
windows which does not handle lots of small .d files. (CMake gave up on
a .d file per file because of this problem on windows).
