When using the -MM option, to create dependencies, and an include filename
is not in dos 8.3 format, I get an error stating the filename does not
exist. If I shorten the filename, it works as expected (see example below).
I am running Windows NT and I have LFN=y. Changing all the customer's source
files is not a desirable option. Are there any other suggestions?
Thanks, pritchie AT logikos DOT com

First Example - Fails:
    gcc -MM test.c
    test.c:1: longfilename.h: No such file or directory (ENOENT)

Second Example - Passes:
    gcc -MM test.c
    test.o: test.c filename.h

The test.c file contains only a single line of code:
First Example -
    #include "longfilename.h"
Second Example -
    #include "filename.h"

Both files, longfilename.h and filename.h exist in the current directory.
