I think the intent of that comment in default-c.c (which I wrote) was that 
if a separate tm_c.h is needed, it should use its own headers, disjoint 
from those used by tm.h.  In particular, as noted in the original patch 
submission 
<https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-patches/2011-04/msg00434.html>, that 
avoids making macros used only to define hooks visible throughout the 
compiler.

It's a bug that it includes defaults.h, and a bug that it includes 
${cpu_type}/${cpu_type}.h.  Any macros used only to define D hooks should 
be in completely separate headers that aren't used elsewhere in the 
compiler.

Yes, and likewise any target-specific overrides of such macros should be 
in a separate header, not ${cpu_type}/${cpu_type}.h.
