Re: (patch) configure-configure -> Makefile-Makefile

I'd much rather have Makefile-Makefile dependencies only when they're
strictly necessary.  I'm not even sure we actually want bfd/Makefile
to depend on libiberty/Makefile.  Even though we know bfd/Makefile
takes info from libiberty/Makefile, I'd rather not have to regenerate
bfd/Makefile just because libiberty/Makefile changes.  With this
change, it seems to me that just touching libiberty/Makefile would
cause the entire tree to be reconfigured.  I don't like this.  I'd
love to learn I'm mistaken.
