I believe the comments in gcc/Makefile.in are pretty clear about this:

# cstamp-h.in controls rebuilding of config.in.
# It is named cstamp-h.in and not stamp-h.in so the mostlyclean rule doesn't
# delete it.  A stamp file is needed as autoheader won't update the file if
# nothing has changed.

Now that there is no acconfig.h anymore, though, it might be possible to get
rid of this intermediate thing and execute the cstamp-h attached commands
whenever the config.status rule is executed, no?
