State-Changed-Why:
    Would you try 3.0.5 (unreleased, from CVS)?  There were many fixes to -M* behaviour put in after 3.0.4.
    
    The documentation at
    
    http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Invocation.html#Invocation
    
    "If -MD is used in conjunction with -E, any -o switch is understood to specify the dependency output file (but see -MF), ..."
    
    If this describes the behaviour you expect, then this issue is probably fixed in pre-3.0.5.

State-Changed-Why:
    gcc-3.05 (prerelease), 3.1 and 3.2 have the behaviour you
    expect.  It looks like the documentation may need updating.

When using the -E and -MD options, the -o option has no effect. The output of the preprocessor is always sent to the standard output. (If -MD is not used, the output is sent to the specified file as expected.)
