Now, modify scripts/Makefile and add those 2 files to the clean target.

2>/dev/null is not needed, and -f will keep rm from complaining if that file
doesn't exist. And, it fact, the next line make the above completely
unnescessary.

Infact, the whole thing is better written like this.
#!/bin/sh
set -e
cat << _EOM_ > ./kernel/dconfig_buf.c
/* DO NOT EDIT: Automatically generated by scripts/mkdconfig.sh */
static char *dconfig_buf =
_EOM_
echo -n \" >> ./kernel/dconfig_buf.c
cat .config >> ./kernel/dconfig_buf.c
echo >> ./kernel/dconfig_buf.c
Why have a possible race, when you can remove the race entirely?
