  Post-processing the .d file with sed seems like your best bet to me.  Make
the .d file correct, instead of trying to adjust reality to match the error!

  [  I really don't understand what you're doing, copying the .mch file over
the .o; how on earth is the final link going to succeed if you've replaced all
the object files with meaningless (to the linker) binary gibberish?  And your
dependencies don't make sense to me either; the .o file depends on the .mch,
not the other way round.  I think you've got yourself tied up in knots with
this approach. ]
