Make using mingw32 on windows does not preserve $@ in macros
when they are modified using this pattern:
target: macro += something

This behaviour results in an error when QEMU_CFLAGS containing
"-MMD -MP -MT $@" is modified for compilation of source files
which use SDL: $@ will expand to nothing, -MT no longer has
the correct argument (it will take the next one from the command
line) and the build will fail or run with a wrong command line.

The problem is fixed by using a new macro QEMU_DGFLAGS
which is not modified by a target rule.

Why not just stuff `-MMD -MP -MT $@' into the rules?

Is it not using GNU Make, or is it some ancient version?
("make --version" shows the version, if it's GNU Make).

As in most cases, there are many ways to do something...

During my test, I had the dependency flags in the rules.

I decided to use a macro to allow people running make
without dependency generation (make QEMU_DGFLAGS=).

3.79.1 is ancient, the GNU version being released in June 2000 :-)

The behaviour of

    target: macro += something

appears to be fixed in GNU make 3.80, which was released in October 2002.
(I've just tested 3.79.1 and 3.80 from GNU's ftp site).

Is there not an update for mingw32 for a more recent make?

$ make --version
GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
Built for i686-pc-msys

Of course it's ancient, but from the timestamp (if it was correct)
I'd estimate that it takes 3 to 4 years to get a GNU release to windows :-)

MSYS make 3.81-2 is available (and there is also a MinGW make, a
make using MSVCRT). The MinGW update tool does not
update MSYS make automatically (at least in my installation),
and I rarely compile using mingw32 on windows (cross compilation
from linux works better). So keeping MinGW/MSYS up-to-date
is a little difficult.
