I suggest reading the comment just above depend:, especially this:

   # To check if test has the file age comparison operator, we
   # simply try, and rely test to exit with 0 if the comparison
   # was true, 1 if false, and most importantly, 2 if it doesn't
   # recognise the operator.

Comparing Makefile with Makefile is because...  well, it's as good a
file as any, and since the result from the operation itself isn't the
important part on that line, a bit of Makefile narcissism can't hurt
;-)

Cheers,
Richard
