Makefile: Improve compiler header dependency check

davvid · gitster · commit 1816bf26eccc · 2011-08-30T10:15:04.000-07:00
The Makefile enables CHECK_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES when the
compiler supports generating header dependencies.
Make the check use the same flags as the invocation
to avoid a false positive when user-configured compiler
flags contain incompatible options.

For example, without this patch, trying to build universal
binaries on a Mac using CFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64'
produces:

	gcc-4.2: -E, -S, -save-temps and -M options are
	not allowed with multiple -arch flags

While at it, remove "sh -c" in the command passed to $(shell);
at this point in the Makefile, SHELL has already been set to
a sensible shell and it is better not to override that.
