Subject: [PATCH resend] Makefile: explicitly set target name for autogenerated dependencies

"gcc -MF depfile -MMD -MP -c -o path/to/file.o" produces a makefile
snippet named "depfile" describing what files are needed to build the
target given by "-o".  When ccache versions before v3.0pre0~187 (Fix
handling of the -MD and -MDD options, 2009-11-01) run, they execute

	gcc -MF depfile -MMD -MP -E

instead to get the final content for hashing.  Notice that the "-c -o"
combination is replaced by "-E".  The result is a target name without
a leading path.

Thus when building git with such versions of ccache with
COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES enabled, the generated makefile snippets
define dependencies for the wrong target:

	$ make builtin/add.o
	GIT_VERSION = 1.7.8.rc3
	    * new build flags or prefix
	    CC builtin/add.o
	$ head -1 builtin/.depend/add.o.d
	add.o: builtin/add.c cache.h git-compat-util.h compat/bswap.h strbuf.h \

After a change in a header file, object files in a subdirectory are
not automatically rebuilt by "make":

	$ touch cache.h
	$ make builtin/add.o
	$

Luckily we can prevent trouble by explicitly supplying the name of the
target to ccache and gcc, using the -MQ option.  Do so.
