I worked out what the issue was - the #warning breaks the make depend
step as it can't parse the output. So removing the warning fixes it,
and so does removing the file as the dependency seems to be bogus
anyway. Will still try to fix it upstream, but coming round to the
view that if we have these files they shouldn't have #warnings in.
