Dependencies are not quite right yet:

$ make distclean
$ ./configure --trace-backend=simple
$ make V=1 trace.o
sh /home/stefanha/qemu/tracetool --simple -c < /home/stefanha/qemu/trace-events > trace.c
sh /home/stefanha/qemu/tracetool --simple -h < /home/stefanha/qemu/trace-events > trace.h

                 from trace.c:2:
qemu-common.h:61: error: redefinition of ‘struct iovec’
make: *** [trace.o] Error 1

I have applied it for now, however, because the implicit dependencies issue affects all of QEMU and was not caused by tracing code:

Can someone explain how the build system uses dependency rules?  From
what I can tell the dependencies are generated during compilation.  In
rules.mak:

# Flags for dependency generation
QEMU_DGFLAGS += -MMD -MP -MT $@ -MF $(*D)/$(*F).d

%.o: %.c
        $(call quiet-command,$(CC) $(QEMU_CFLAGS) $(QEMU_DGFLAGS)
$(CFLAGS) -c -o $@ $<,"  CC    $(TARGET_DIR)$@")

I would have expected one pass to build dependencies, then the
dependency rules are sourced into make, then the code is built.  Isn't
it too late to generate dependencies when compiling the object file?

It looks like GENERATED_HEADERS is used to add explicit dependencies
on config-host.h and config-target.h.  trace.o should depend on
$(GENERATED_HEADERS).
