The dependency on ../config.something should cause it to be regenerated
when the configuration changes. This is the mechanism automake uses for .in
files processed by ./configure.
One can imagine regenerating it when variables passed to make change, but
that is something make is not set up for. You could just as reasonably ask
"make CFLAGS=-f fastmath" to regenerate foo.o, but that's not how make
works. (The doit system apparently does the right thing for that
situation.)
