You can check the global variable snapped_deps.

GNU make reads in all the makefiles then invokes snap_deps() to set up
all the various data structures for prerequisites, etc.  When that's
done it sets the value snapped_deps to true (this is currently used
during some types of variable initialization etc.) then proceeds to run
the makefile.

So, if snapped_deps is true then make has completed reading all the
makefiles.
