You could lazily update config.h only when symbol lists changed.  And
you really want to rebuild the real objects in order for the library to
be correct.  Of course with --disable-namespacing you would just let the
symbol list never change: it would always be empty, thus never trigger a
rerun of all real objects.

But in the face of gl_LIBOBJS, this is moot for now anyway.

Cheers,
Ralf
