While the .*.d dependency files get build nicely during the initial build, they never got actually used: make''s $(wildcard ) function acts like the shell''s, i.e. *.d doesn''t match any file name starting with ''.'' and hence none of the files would ever be used. For the clean: rules the issue is the same, except here it should have been very obvious that removing *.d won''t do what was intended.
