Comment (by eschnett):

 The regexp suggested in comments 4 and 5 does not work as-is. The
 dependency files contain several dependencies, and only one of them (the
 first) should be modified. Currently, Cactus looks for ": " (colon-space)
 to ensure this. Another way may be to look for a file name ending in ".o"
 before a colon. The correct way would be to replace the file name, which
 we know in principle -- maybe the expression
 {{{
 ^$(basename $(basename $@))\.o:
 }}}
 would work as text that should be replaced?

 Since this is currently a serious bug in Cactus, we don't need approval of
 two maintainers. Anything that stands a fighting chance of correcting this
 (without introducing an even larger disaster) should be applied.
