My 2p.  You should leave it alone.

The config.guess and config.sub files aren't even maintained by us; they
are simply imported from Ben Ellison's tree, so leave him to maintain
them as he wishes.

The remaining four are simply used by make, to keep track of events
during a build; if you fiddle with them, you WILL break things.

Honestly, it isn't worth worrying about; there are much more important
things to pursue, than this sort of trivia.
