I had similar problems while switching from 3.79 to 3.81. The problem was in 
broken makefiles which happened to work somehow with 3.79.

There should be a complete path in the dependency graph from the .d source to 
the binary. Something like:

source.o : source.d ; # whatever is needed to produce .o
binary: source.o; $(CXX) -o $@ $+

The graph might be incomplete if you happen to use recursive makefiles.
