The author seems a little cautious.

The point is that C does not define a library unit and how
it fits into the translation process, dependency-wise,
like Ada does.
There are economical consequences. C's, uh, permissive ways create
a plethora of mutually incompatible solutions to a problem that
has been formally defined, and solved, in Ada right from the start.

So, there exist cases where GCC, with the help of GNU Make and a host
of Unix programs, will let a diligent programmer produce
dependency files that tackle dependency in a roll-your-own
fashion. This setup is all outside of C, non-portable, "pragmatic",
and works, provided a sufficient amount of crowd work and crowd money
are spent on additions to C programming that tend become mutually
exclusive.
