No, because the t- frags contain the dependencies and the t- frags are
included by make verbatim, hence they're there when building target.o.

Of course not. But as $(out_object_file) is 'i386.o' they will be
dependencies for the same target.

Sure. And the Makefile _includes_ the t- frags, which means for i386,
that there are two dependency sets, once from Makefile.in copied into
Makefile, for $(out_object_file), and once explicitely for i386.o from the
t-i386 frag included by Makefile.

Sure they are amended. I'm unsure what thing you're missing, but you do
miss something. Maybe that the 'include' directives in the Makefile are
not autoconf directives by real make directives? IOW, the generated
Makefile is not all that's interpreted by make; it's amended with all the
included frags when reading the Makefile. If you don't believe me: make
an experiment, on a i386 devel tree:
% cd gcc; make i386.o
% vi ..../config/i386/t-i386
... add something like "nonexisting" to the deps of i386.o ...
# make i386.o
make: *** No rule to make target `nonexisting', needed by `i386.o'. Stop.
So, clearly, the deps from t-i386 _are_ used.
Ciao,
