Applying $(sort ) to create a unique list of obj files does not solve
this issue, only hide it.
kbuild will compile all .o files originating from .c files when 
building conf and mconf.
Likewise when building qconf, all .o files originating from both .c _and_
.cc files will be built.
In other words the current solution leverage on the fact that the only
problematic object files is qconf.o based on qconf.cc.

It is OK that the first "make oldconfig" - automatic or not - 
needs to compile one extra .o file (mconf.o), since this is relatively fast.

PS. linux-isdn.bkbits.net/linux-2.5.kconfig has not showed up yet - mentioned
the patch you posted a diff for.
