This causes gcc (yes, and clang) to emit phony targets for each dependency.
This means that when a header file is deleted, the C files which *used*
to include it will no longer stop building with bogus out-of-date
dependencies like this:
make[5]: *** No rule to make target
'/home/dwmw2/git/xen/xen/include/asm/hvm/svm/amd-iommu-proto.h',
needed by 'p2m.o'. Stop.
Based on -MP post-dating -MP by many years it is assumed that the
behavior of -MP isn't the defualt just out of extreme caution. We're
sufficiently convinced that there are no undue side effects of this.
