Probably because temacs.exe is a product of dumping temacs.bin.  See
src/makefile.w32-in.  Here's the relevant fragment from a typical
build session:

  "../nt/oo-spd/i386/addsection" "oo-spd/i386/temacs.bin" "oo-spd/i386/temacs.exe" EMHEAP 16
  Dumping from oo-spd/i386/temacs.bin
            to oo-spd/i386/temacs.exe
