I do not think it is limited to QNX.

And dep_dirs being empty under some circumstance shouldn't be
limited to QNX, either.

I think your change does no harm, may be a good change if dep_dirs
goes empty, but the justification is lacking.  What caused your
dep_dirs to become empty in the first place?

I am scratching my head because I see

    OBJECTS := $(LIB_OBJS) $(BUILTIN_OBJS) $(PROGRAM_OBJS) $(TEST_OBJS) \
	$(XDIFF_OBJS) \
	$(VCSSVN_OBJS) \
	git.o
    dep_dirs := $(addsuffix .depend,$(sort $(dir $(OBJECTS))))
