Your patch is reverting this one:
	mk: in install rule, don't overwrite .config if it already exists
	http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/commit/?id=1c858a7dfebd4e4092eb55
As stated in the commit log,
	"This allows the user to prepare a configuration with make config
	before using make install."

So your patch is introducing a regression.

I think you are describing something which is not a bug.
If you make a modification to the configuration template, you must explicitly 
call "make config".
