I'd be the first to admit that this patch is a ugly hack.
However, judging by the comments in fixdep.c this is expected behavior.
I'm also afraid that changing fixdep to ignore comments would slow down 
the whole build for the sake of one file which IMHO dosen't seem to be a 
worthwhile tradeoff. 

Thanks,

Peter
