Correct (libgcc/config.host, target patterns in testcases etc. are also
covered). Files in config/ are only removed when no configuration uses
them. If a file is removed while still being used by another target,
that's a mistake and the file should be restored; if a file (formerly used
by some targets) remains while no target uses it, that's also a mistake
and it should be removed.
