BTW, did you use --enable-depend with configure? If that fixes
the problem then there is no bug. This is another philosophical
difference: autoconf lets you say whether to spend the overhead
to track build dependencies, meson/ninja does it always. It might
be that --enable-depend isn't enough to capture this dependency,
in which case that's a bug worth fixing.
