Looks like we need to make git-submodule-update depend on config-host.mak, so
that we have already re-run configure, so that vanishing modules will have been
de-selected.

Forcing a configure re-run by hand would have masked this problem.  I think all
of the testing that I have been doing has been builds from empty build directories.
