Yep. Though with newer versions of gcc (I don't know how new though) you can avoid the nasty sed stuff. I'm currently using this to generate my .d files for C files:

    $(objtree)/%.d: $(srctree)/%.c
        @$(CC) -MM -MP -MF $@ $(CPPFLAGS) $< -MT $(objtree)/$*.o -MT $@
That generates a dependency file in the form:
    $(objtree)/%.o $(objtree)/%.d: (dependency list)
    (dependency-list-entry-1):
    (dependency-list-entry-2):
    etc...
It's pretty handy. Avoiding all the sed stuff is nice.
