Not exactly an OS utility, but Git can track filesystem operations, attribute them to a target, and help with re-ordering builds to find undeclared dependencies. The basic idea is to build each target in a branch with it’s declared dependencies as parents. Then run a second pass with undeclared targets `checked out` prior to build and compare the results[1]. A simpler first pass could be to simply build each target with a commit and compare the files changed between commits.
