Well, all those make commands are a good idea.  The first one I tried was
make mrproper.  However, it and any other make command produces the same
error with the .hdepend file.

As I think back about how the problem came about I remember one time
executing just "make" with no parameters.  I quickly pressed ctl-c when it
started running because I did not want "make" with no parameters.  I had to
quit for the night right after that. ("Boy, why did I type that! Oh, it's
after midnight, got up at 5am, brain going off line, off to bed for me.")
The next day is when the .hdepend error started.  Stopping that "make"
command must have done something, you think?

it shouldn't have created any problems that 'make mrproper' wouldn't fix -
at least, not with my understanding of make mrproper.

you should also 'make clean' after you 'make dep'

If you cd /whatever your source folder is...typically like
/usr/src/linux-2.4/

and then
cp .config /temp/
make mrproper
cp /tmp/.config .
make menuconfig (or make config or make xconfig)
make dep

are you saying that you then get that error?
