1. all *.elc should depend on the dumped few files like subr.el.
2. if a foo.el uses a macro defined in bar.el, then it should (require
'bar) and a simple grep+sed cen generate the dependency. I did
something similar for a Commol Lisp package 5 years ago (before
switching to defsystem), it worked just fine.

This is not a dependency issue.
If you type a make argument, you can as well type "make clean", right?

I am afraid you lost me here.
Do you mean that every target should depend on the Makefile?
If yes, I am sure you can easily add Makefile to each target line.

this should not be too hard to fix, I guess:
config.status: ${srcdir}/configure /lib/libc.a
./config.status --recheck
[of course the location and the name of libc will have to be somehow
determined...]
but how often do you upgrade libc?

again, this can probably be fixed...
The bottom line on these last two items is that host system
dependencies are probably less important than the Emacs
interdependencies because the host system can be presumed to be more
stable than the Emacs development tree.

If you think big enough, you'll never have to do it.
