The "depend" target produces the file .depend, which will be read
by make(1) on the *next* run. It doesn't use the carefully built
dependency rules for the "kernel" and "install" targets in this run.

So, if you build the kernel each time from a clean build directory,
the "depend" target is superfluous.
