how about following fix.. it gets rid of the -Wp,MT option completely
so it should address Peter's issue.. it also makes fixdep more robust
and makes it wait for first target before spitting out dependencies

I have some difficulties now with getting Fedora 25.. I'll test
and send this out within this week
