That's because they're really aren't any.
The build-time dependency is on macros. But we don't have a good way
to identify macros, so every file that is required is assumed to be a
potential provider of macros. (N.B. A couple of efforts have been
made to automate construction of macro detection and so build
dependencies, but they turn out to be not quite good enough. Nobody
has really followed through. Someday....)
