 glibc uses the equivalent functionality provided by SUNPRO_DEPENDENCIES:
 
 # Generate the list of SYS_* macros for the system calls (__NR_* macros).
 $(objpfx)syscall-%.h $(objpfx)syscall-%.d: ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sys/syscall.h
 	rm -f $(@:.h=.d)-t
 	{ \
 	 echo '/* Generated at libc build time from kernel syscall list.  */';\
 	 echo ''; \
 	 echo '#ifndef _SYSCALL_H'; \
 	 echo '# error "Never use <bits/syscall.h> directly; include <sys/syscall.h> instead."'; \
 	 echo '#endif'; \
 	 echo ''; \
 	 SUNPRO_DEPENDENCIES='$(@:.h=.d)-t $@' \
 	 $(CC) -E -x c $(sysincludes) $< -D_LIBC -dM | \
 	 sed -n 's@^#define __NR_\([^ ]*\) .*$$@#define SYS_\1 __NR_\1@p'; \
 	} > $(@:.d=.h).new
 	mv -f $(@:.d=.h).new $(@:.d=.h)
 	sed < $(@:.h=.d)-t > $(@:.h=.d)-t2 \
 	    -e 's,$(subst .,\.,$@),$(patsubst $(objpfx)%,$$(objpfx)%,\
 					      $(@:.d=.h) $(@:.h=.d)),'
 	rm -f $(@:.h=.d)-t
 	mv -f $(@:.h=.d)-t2 $(@:.h=.d)
 
 Andreas.
