Yes, that was my own reaction too. :-) "Hey, I can't remove that". :)  I'm not even sure why I initially didn't think of putting it in the spec.gmk instead if a separate file...

No. It will probably fail. :( Maybe we can detect this and warn/refuse to run, but I don't even want to start thinking how we could support that in the reconfigure target. It's probably not worth it.
