My opinion is that the problem in in having the SHAs in Makefile.in.
I think Makefile.in should refer to branches/tags rather than to SHAs.

PS: Also, every time Makefile.in changes, `make` re-runs config.status
which then causes all the .o files to be recompiled as well, so I'd
rather we don't change it all too often.
