Sashiko has a comment that this produces different results based on a
clean versus incremental build:

  https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/59032

I can reproduce this with:

  $ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=x86_64 mrproper defconfig lib/oid_registry.o

  $ grep -n oid_registry_data lib/.oid_registry.o.cmd
  3:make_prereqs_lib/oid_registry.o := lib/oid_registry.c lib/oid_registry_data.c
  1111:  lib/oid_registry_data.c \

  $ touch lib/oid_registry.c

  $ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=x86_64 lib/oid_registry.o

  $ grep -n oid_registry_data lib/.oid_registry.o.cmd
  1111:  lib/oid_registry_data.c \

As this is just metadata for external tools (i.e., it does not get
consumed by Kbuild again), we could just require them to filter
duplicates after the fact?
