Most likely, yes.
Also it's fun since a configure script could do exactly this (caching
the settings) over runs.
An easy fix for not looking at the gcc-flags for noconfig targets (resp.
notools target since some noconfig targets need hosttools and these may
need to check for flags for the HOSTCC) would be to just not check for
them if ($(MAKECMDGOAL),help)
Whether skipping these works for all versions of make is left as an
exercise for the curious (could be that i did it already in the
buildsys-patch i sent to the list WRT 'compressed_usage broke parallel
builds' -- http://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2006-May/021764.html).

Rob, what about instead fixing the testsuite so it can be run when
building out of tree? :P
