Like others, I don't really have an idea on how this could have
happened. But perhaps "gmake -d git-daemon" could be enlightening?
Mine has:
[...]
Considering target file 'git-daemon'.
Looking for an implicit rule for 'git-daemon'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'daemon'.
Trying implicit prerequisite 'daemon.o'.
Trying rule prerequisite 'GIT-LDFLAGS'.
Trying rule prerequisite 'common-main.o'.
Trying rule prerequisite 'libgit.a'.
Trying rule prerequisite 'xdiff/lib.a'.
Found an implicit rule for 'git-daemon'.
Considering target file 'daemon.o'.
and so on.

There's no official knob to turn, but dropping this line would remove
it:
