don't do this.  make dep creates dependencies which then need to be taken
into account for later steps.  you might rely on make getting this right,
but i don't.

bug in that driver (it has x * 1.5, which uses fp).  fixed in alan's tree,
though i don't believe it's made its way into linus' tree yet.

consider youself lucky you get compile-time errors instead of random
inexplicable fp corruption.
