<machine>.h is used to define macros that give such information as the
register classes, whether little endian or not, sizes of integral
types etc.
The file <machine>.c, like you rightly said defines the targetm
structure that holds pointers to target related functions and data.
Such functions are defined in the .c file. Such target hooks are
#defined in the .c file.
