As far as I can see from reading the makefiles, and from looking at
the output when it's actually run, make mrproper does not create any
symlinks. Old libcs (pre version 6) needed symlinks from /usr/include
into the kernel include files, but that's obsolete with glibc, and
tends to cause more problems than it solves.

Some would argue that removing a config file is the limiting case of
corrupting it :). Plus, new tarballs of kernel sources are supposed to
be clean and mrproper to begin with.

Anyway, if you want a really clean source tree, make distclean is more
thorough, as it gets rid of patch(1) related detritus as well, which
mrproper has a habit of leaving behind.
