Why is config.status dependent on lisp/version.el?
Andreas Schwab added that dependency in 2007 to fix a problem back when Emacs was managed under CVS and did not assume GNU Make. Please see this thread:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-04/msg01375.htmlI haven't looked at it carefully, but I wouldn't be surprised if the dependency (or something like it) is still needed. I'll CC: Andreas to give him a heads-up.
