The "bug" is that dependencies are omitted. It's not a problem when you 
do a clean build. It's a problem when you do an incremental build after 
changing things.

A particular example I can think of is that RESOURCES files are not 
recompiled as they should be when the build and source trees have a 
different number of slashes in them.
