# No, but the worst that can happen if they're missing is that make
# fails to update an object file when one of the headers on which it
# depends changes; the assumption is that if they're missing you either
# have a clean source tree or don't care about correct dependency
# information. Failing to read .config, on the other hand, has far more
# serious consequences, since you'll end up with a (useless) kernel

That makes sense. Now, a related Makefile question: in various parts we
have something similiar to:
ifdef ....
include .config
endif
Is it possible to put that include statement into a dependancy section?
For example, could we do something like:
config:
$(MAKE) config
include .config
? I know that the above doesn't work, as it tries to execute "include
.config" as a shell command. Is there anyway to make it behave like I want
it to? :)

Is this from me?!?! Egads!
