Hmmm, I was actually just reacting to a bug report about the binutils
snapshots.  I didn't look into it farther than observing that depcomp
was not in BINUTILS_SUPPORT_DIRS.

Now that I look at this a bit more, I see that the last time we
generated a binutils daily snapshot was May 16.  It fails like this:

ln: `proto-toplev/mkdep': File exists
make[2]: *** [do-proto-toplev] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/export/u0/sourceware/sourceware/snapshot-tmp/binutils-snapshot/asnap080618.27541/src'
make[1]: *** [taz] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/export/u0/sourceware/sourceware/snapshot-tmp/binutils-snapshot/asnap080618.27541/src'
make: *** [binutils.tar.bz2] Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/export/u0/sourceware/sourceware/snapshot-tmp/binutils-snapshot/asnap080618.27541/src'

So now it seems that my change was exactly what I should not have
done.  I have now committed this patch.

Thanks for catching this.
