Sure, but that's not really the problem.

The problem is installed CANNOT_DUMP builds where the source has been
deleted. For them, we'd have to install config.el somewhere. And where
would it go? It would have to be a build-specific location.

Not that we really support CANNOT_DUMP builds anyway (pretty sure I
accidentally broke the Makefiles for those a while ago).

Anyway, it's not important, since there's no need to make such a change.
