--disable-dependency-tracking : broken ?

[Frédéric L . W . Meunier]

Hi. I build many projects with --disable-dependency-tracking
(fileutils, sh-utils, textutils ...). CVS 1.11.1p1 on Linux.

Also without --disable-dependency-tracking , which works:

checking dependency style of gcc... cp: cannot stat `': No such file or 
directory
/usr/local/src/cvs-1.11.1/configure: ./depcomp: No such file or directory
none

With --disable-dependency-tracking, which doesn't:

make  all-recursive

I get the same results without objdir.
