I don't know.  I'm asking because I don't know what the contents of the
module file really depend on.  But yes, if they depend on modules.c,
then I think that either there should be a dependency, or if that is too
expensive for the common build case, then there should be some hint in
the documentation stating that this dependency is not reflected in the
build machinery.
