Last time I looked, (Busybox-1.00), it's because of a bug in Busybox's
Makefile.

It tries to create dependency files for each CONFIG_ option, just like
the Linux kernel does.  If that worked, changing the config would
trigger a recompile of only those files which are affected by the
option changes, which would be perfect.

But it doesn't work because a path is wrong somewhere in the Makefile.
