gcc has a much more powerful feature.  In your Makefile, add the "-MD"
or "-MMD" options to gcc.  Then, add this at the end of your Makefile:

	DEPS := $(wildcard *.d)
	ifneq ($(DEPS),)
	include $(DEPS)
	endif

gcc will automatically generate dependencies as it compiles, and make
will automatically use any that gcc has generated.  This is much more
reliable than using makedepend.

For an example, see the V2 libc makefiles.
