Smart question :-) I needed to fail first to become aware of it. The  
solution
is that there is a specific merge-rule that just copies the *-config  
files
which you can add to the merge-scripts for the modulation:

   MERGE_SCRIPTS_isa-extra = copy-relocated-only copy-config-only
   MERGE_DIRS_isa-extra = $(libdir)

I have used this e.g. at ncurses and pcre if you want to see a real-life
example.


Best regards
