What make are you using, and what command triggers the issue ?

Those rules should only be visible on parser regeneration (ie.
REGENERATE_PARSERS defined). make 3.82 does not seem to trigger the
issue:

% make -v
GNU Make 3.82

% make REGENERATE_PARSERS=y defconfig
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/conf.o
  SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c
  SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.lex.c
  SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.hash.c
  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o
  HOSTLD  scripts/kconfig/conf
*** Default configuration is based on 'x86_64_defconfig'
[...]

The shipped file are still there:

% ls scripts/kconfig/*_shipped
scripts/kconfig/zconf.hash.c_shipped
scripts/kconfig/zconf.lex.c_shipped
scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c_shipped

Thanks,
 - Arnaud
