config.status invokation inconsistency

[Lars J. Aas]

Invoking config.status like the below line will only create dstfile.

  ./config.status --file=dstfile

However, invoking config.status like the line below will also cause
config.status to execute the EXTRA-COMMANDS argument for config.status.

  CONFIG_FILES=dstfile CONFIG_HEADERS= CONFIG_LINKS= ./config.status

Shouldn't these two be equivalent?
