Don't you think the `clean' target should put back the old files? 

build-stamp:
	...
	# install new config.{sub,guess}
	mv config.sub   config.sub.old
	mv config.guess config.guess.old
	cp /usr/share/misc/config.{sub,guess} ./
	...

clean:
	...
	# put back old config.{sub,guess}
	-[ -e config.sub.old ]   && mv -f config.sub.old config.sub
	-[ -e config.guess.old ] && mv -f config.guess.old config.guess
	...
