scripts/basic/fixdep makes sure that only the affected parts are rebuild when the config changes. Obviously, if a CONFIG_ option appears in a widely used header file, the whole kernel is rebuilt. Otherwise object files would be built with different versions of the header file. If you want to shoot yourself in the foot and override this, then do a 'touch include/config/*.conf', but please do not add such a hack to the Makefile.
