This did not work.  If I execute the "scripts/mkdep" line it tells me that 
$(HPATH) is not in the environment.  If I manually put in the HPATH value or 
use the env command to get it in, it runs but the .hdepend.new file is 0 
length.

The other idea of copying the .config to another directory and then executing 
make mrproper produces the corrupted .hdepend error.

I think I will have to restore the source tree or something since nothing 
else is working to rebuild the .hdepend file.
