I understand collect2.c-->collect2, main.c (wrapper of toplev.c) --

build/genattr, but I don't see anything else calls this executable.
I'd refer you to the documentation and source code.
In general, this list isn't set up for such questions. We kinda
expect that you can read a make file and see lines like:
insn-attr.h: s-attr ; @true
s-attr : $(MD_DEPS) build/genattr$(build_exeext)
$(RUN_GEN) build/genattr$(build_exeext) $(md_file) > tmp-attr.h
$(SHELL) $(srcdir)/../move-if-change tmp-attr.h insn-attr.h
$(STAMP) s-attr
and understand what that says and read comments like:
/* Generate attribute information (insn-attr.h) from machine
description.
and get a feel for that the file might do.
