Sorry if I'm wrong, but looking into top level rules.mk

_depend:	$(obj).depend

$(obj).depend:	$(src)Makefile $(TOPDIR)/config.mk $(SRCS)
		@rm -f $@
		@for f in $(SRCS); do \
			g=`basename $$f | sed -e 's/\(.*\)\.\w/\1.o/'`; \
			$(CC) -M $(HOSTCFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) -MQ $(obj)$$g $$f >> $@ ; \
		done

this doesn't distinguish between .c and .S sources?

That is, it doesn't use AFLAGS set in config.mk to generate assembly 
dependencies? So setting  -D__ASSEMBLY__ while generating assembly 
dependencies is missing here?
