This patch seems to cause kernel/time/time.c to always need to be
recompiled and the vmlinux to be relinked even if nothing has changed.

make V=2 shows

CC kernel/time/time.o - due to: include/config/

Is there a reason this is commented out instead of removed?

It looks like it has to recompile because of this dependency. Can't we
just remove this line?
