It looks like the cause is lib/Makefile which states that several generated headers in that directory depend on config.status. So each `configure' causes those headers to be regenerated, which in turn triggers many files using those headers to be recompiled. This is annoying, as building Emacs even on a modern system takes a significant amount of time (about 3 minutes on this box, whose details see below). Can this annoyance be removed, please?
