[RFC/PATCH] newlib: enable automatic dependency generation

This was disabled as part of the migration away from the cygnus option
as that implied no-dependencies.

We currently have 1-to-1 updates enabled -- if you touch a .c file,
the corresponding .o file will be rebuilt.  But if you touch a header
file, none of the files using that get rebuilt.

Not sure how much we care.  I think we want this since it's probably
what people are expecting.  It increases the size of the Makefile a
bit, and adds a little build overhead to generate & process.
