Yes, there is a duplication, Walfred asked it too.  See my reply
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-06/msg00758.html

The code creating target descriptions for each target should be shared
somewhere, in arch/?.  We need to change each backend to migrate to the
new style of creating target descriptions, and share code with GDBserver
if needed.  This project needs help converting interesting backends to
the new style of target description creation.

linux-x86-tdesc-ipa.o is built from linux-x86-tdesc.c for IPA.
