E.g. using CML1:
.config should depends in all [Cc]onfig.in.
kbuild-2.4 and 2.5 seem not to take these dependencies.
It solves no problems, but it is IMHO a nice features.
[Lately I did see anymore problems of people not calling
make oldconfig after a patch]. With this feature (kbuild2.5
check always that config.out is update), it is less probable to
have a cryptic bug report, because missmatch of config.out and
source.
IMHO with kbuild-2.5 and multiple sources, this problem can
arise more frequently
