[PATCH v2] build system: fix parallel building issue

[Michael Olbrich]

The files generated by the include/config/MARKER target are in the
dependency list for applets/applet_tables.
If applets/applet_tables is created first during applets_dir then it will
be created again later as part of $(busybox-dirs).
As a result include/applet_tables.h is created again. This time while other
build commands may need it.

Let include/config/MARKER depend on applets_dir to avoid this particular
race condition and create the header files atomically to ensure that the
compiler never sees incomplete files.

I'm not really happy with this patch, but I don't have a better idea
either. It solves the immediate problem and should make things more
robust.

Regards,
Michael
