I think that you might be confusing it with make includes, which has
been mandatory.  make depend doesn't need to be run to build X11R4 (or
it may have been R3).  IIRC, I built it several times w/o doing a make
depend first, and hacked things so that make depend wasn't run on the
tree.  Things may have changed since then, but it wasn't absolutely
required at the time.  It was a big win to not run make depend on the
whole tree when running on a Sun 3/50...

make includes created all the include files that were needed and moved
them to the correct relative spot in the built tree.  That did need to
run to setup things, but make depend didn't used to be required to
generate files.
