A workaround is remove the DEPENDS and
use SEARCH instead of LOCATE for <object(c-scanner)>x.cpp.
This works because I already dealt with
this problem for generated sources found
by SEARCH.  Actually, now that I think about
it, using SEARCH is probably better, anyway,
because b2 enters any target with LOCATE in
the explicit_bindings table.
