That's correct!  Maybe it should be documented in build-system.txt.

It's basically an optimization, CONFIG_ALL is used when some stubs are
not used in all subtargets but you still want to build them once-only.

Then the toplevel Makefile will typically see the configuration symbol
as defined (because it operates on the union of all targets'
configuration symbols), and will skip builting the "stubs" file.  Using
CONFIG_ALL for the stubs file ensures that the object file is available
before recursing.
