Sure, but that's not really the problem. The problem is installed CANNOT_DUMP builds where the source has been deleted. For them, we'd have to install config.el somewhere. And where would it go? It would have to be a build-specific location. Not that we really support CANNOT_DUMP builds anyway (pretty sure I accidentally broke the Makefiles for those a while ago). Anyway, it's not important, since there's no need to make such a change.
