Hmm is should be auto-generated from config-(host|target).mak but I've
never quite figured out why we need timestamps rather than a straight
dependency check in rules.mk:

  # Generate timestamp files for .h include files

  config-%.h: config-%.h-timestamp
          @cmp $< $@ >/dev/null 2>&1 || cp $< $@

  config-%.h-timestamp: config-%.mak $(SRC_PATH)/scripts/create_config
          $(call quiet-command, sh $(SRC_PATH)/scripts/create_config < $< > $@,"GEN","$(TARGET_DIR)config-$*.h")

This seems to be one of those things that goes away on a make clean && rebuild
