bug#52322: `make --question info` always fails

ISTM that src/Makefile.in has a problem, in that it wants globals.h to
be newer than gl-stamp, but the rule that generates globals.h ensures
the opposite is always true. So it always tries to rebuild globals.h
(even if it is a no-op).

Working around that, one is left with the issue that compile-clean
always runs, and make can't tell that it can be a no-op.

Perhaps just get rid of the --question test.
