Sure. The .defs files are Mach interface definition files. They're
process using mig to generate .c files with the interface stubs. This
is what the "%_S.h %_S.c: %.defs" and "%_U.h %_U.c: %.defs" rules are
about. Adding exc_request_U.o and exc_request_S.o to NATDEPFILES is
enough to trigger these rules, generate exc_request_U.c and
exc_request_S.c from exc_requests.defs and compile them into object
modules.
