I think it might be quicker to grab the cldep wrapper and try that.  The 
CMake one works on whole targets and does not forward the call to the 
compiler.   ninja seems to want to call one thing that does depends and 
the compile.  Either way could be done.  However, just grabbing the 
cldep thing from that branch might be the quickest.  Although, I suspect 
that this problem will show up with other non-gnu compilers, and a pure 
cmake implementation would be nice to have.  I don't know enough ninja 
to know if it has to be done in the same command as the compile to get 
it to work.
