I think this is the key.  It sounds like a bug that MS doesn't notice
that it is generating fnmatch.h & alloca.h and attempts to search them
for dependencies anyhow.  It probably needs to build the files before
generating the dependencies automatically, but for now, building
before regenerating the makefiles seems like the easiest workaround.
