Sorry for not having checked.

The config.h files usually contains architecture-specific properties. It
may even #include other headers that are only available for a particular
architecture. Keeping it bears a risk of things failing subtly. By not
#including it and knowing that it works anyway, we generally eliminate
that risk. It's not a critical aspect but more like making sure it works
in future.
