Really?  I thought I'd gotten a patch for that into 1.5.
Do note that this is decided at configure-time (it tries
to create .deps and sets DEPDIR accordingly); so if you
try to build an LFN-configured project in a SFN environment,
it will indeed use .deps.
This should be fixed in 1.6 at least.

I was planning on building bison 1.33 in a SFN environment
to test if it can indeed be configured out of the box (it
should).  But VMWare problems pretty much stopped that.
I'll try to try again today or tomorrow.
