The compiler is an input to the build rule.  Consider the rule:

build: $(CC) my.c -o my.o

what are the dependencies for the rule "build"?

my.c obviously.  Anything the compiler accesses during the
compilation of my.c.  And *the compiler itself*, referenced here
as $(CC).  From a dependency management standpoint, executables
are not special except as running them leads to the discovery of
more dependencies than may be statically specified.
