Brian's cc on IRIX doesn't support gcc-dependencies
so I have disabled it for now.

Either wait for automake 1.5, which will support automatic dependency
tracking for other compilers as well or force Brian to use GCC ;-)
So far automake assumes that the maintainers/developers of a package
use GCC and GNU make, which are able to generate the dependeny
files in .deps/.
When the maintainer releases a new version using "make dist" automake
removes all GNU specific stuff from the Makefiles and includes
the previously generated .deps files in the tarball so that
the package can be compiled on all supported (non-GNU) platforms.
Can we take it for granted that all Mesa developers have
GCC and GNU make installed?
