I don't know.  The mechanism in winsup/Makefile.in is similar to
a lot of Makefile.in's in the repository.  They invoke

config.status --recheck

when configure changes.  This will rerun configure but it does so with
the '--no-recursion' switch which seems to avoid creating new
directories.

I don't know if this is by accident or by design, though.
