Peter ran into a mismatch between config-host.mak and
tests/tcg/foo/config-target.mak in his build system so it didn't get
picked up at one point.
But what is the rule that the new dependency is going to trigger? As far as I can see there is no rule to regenerate the $config_target_mak files, and also no rule to regenerate configure; the only effect of a change to configure will be rerunning the script, but that's triggered by the existing config-host.mak rule.
