Apparently not enough; excerpt:

  --enable-dependency-tracking
             do not reject slow dependency extractors  
--disable-dependency-tracking
             speeds up one-time build

This IMHO also shows that tests need to be tightened (without being
made too strict).  I will propose an amended patch soonish.
