It forces the ihex2fw tool to be rebuilt, which in turn forces all .HEX->.fw conversions to happen again, which means that 'make modules_install' wants to write to the source tree. That's a problem in some strange situations like Rafael's, where he builds on another host and exports the tree read-only by NFS.
