Nope.  I certainly didn't know it off the top of my head.  I know there
are some dependencies handled in that manner, but I don't know exactly
which ones.

You should not make such assumptions.  While many of us have been hacking
gcc for a long time, we don't know everything cold.  Assuming that we
do just leads to problems.
