One of my assignments is to bring this up to CentOS, but on my first effort, I ran into this interesting "feature." The original build process (FC1) uses mkdep to generate the dependency files that are subsequently used by the makes to build the app. mkdep does not exist in CentOS 5.2. There is a makedepend command that operates slightly differently.
I'm not 100% positive on this, but I believe that mkdep/makedepend are optional and only needed for build avoidance. If you do a "make clean" followed by a "make all" (or simply "make clean all"), it should rebuild your application from scratch (assuming that the "all" target is defined to do so) and no dependency rules are needed. It will take longer to rebuild since it has to recompile everything, but it doesn't sound like you run this build every day.
