                                                                       ^^^^^^^^^^

Where does it generate a new Makefile rule? It generates the dependency
file used for the dependency tracking with the name: .flat.lds.S.d (or
similar)

It’s used for the dependency tracking. See line

$KUT/Makefile:122

-include */.*.d */*/.*.d

I thought, $(asm-offsets) is used to make sure that the file
<asm/asm-offsets.h> is generated.
