+## Merge multiple .d files generated by llvm-rs-cc. This is necessary
+## because ninja can handle only a single depfile per build target.
+## We assume .d files start with two targets and their prerequisites
+## follow. The first line is for the stamp file and the second line is
+## for .bc file. There's no way to let ninja know dependencies to .bc
+## files, so we give up build targets for .bc files. As we write the
+## .stamp file as the target by ourselves, the sed script removes the
+## first two lines and append a backslash to the last line to
+## concatenate contents of multiple files.
