Repair .hdepend file?

[Alan Dayley]

Using RedHat 7.1 I have begun experimenting with the process of building a 
new kernel.  I have not tried to install it yet, just using the make commands.

Today when I try it, I get an error no matter what make command I issue.  The 
error is:

/lib/modules/2.4.2-2/build/.hdepend:1983: *** unterminated call to function 
'wildcard': missing ')'. Stop.

I looked at .hdepend.  The offending line is the last line of the file and 
ends in '/q' instead of a ')'.  I did not simply put a closing parentesis in 
place because for all I know the file was truncated and is missing even more 
stuff.  The line is:

$(wildcard /usr/src/linux-2.4.2/include/config/q

How do I accurately repair or regenerate or re-install this file?
