This doesn't really make much sense. In my packages, I copy the new
config.{sub,guess} over the old ones in one of the build targets,
and put a backup of the original ones back in the clean target. That
way, the packages always use an up-to-date config.{sub,guess}, but the
diff isn't clobbered in any way because of this.

The best solution is of course to get upstream include up-to-date
config.{sub,guess}. But just letting the clean target do what it's
supposed to do (i.e. clean the source tree).
