Reading this bug thread, it seems that various options were suggested
(mostly around different move-if-changed solutions), but they all seemed
to have various problems.
I think that it's unlikely that a user runs configure twice in a row
without changing any options, so I don't personally see any problems
with re-compiling all the .c files after running configure, so I wonder
whether there's really anything to be done here.
