Due to the way the uClinux build sytem works, Makefiles are
not expected to be re-generated from Makefile.in files.

This is the current behaviour, anyway. Some people are unhappy
with the situation and want to change it, but there is a large amount
of work involved, so for now you can rely on Makefiles not being
re-generated.
