If you insist ...

Perhaps the answer is to treat stamp-h as a real output file (ie,
generated from a stamp-h.in file) rather than hacking it into place
as an AC_OUTPUT extra command. It looks to me like config.status
only does the keep-the-old-timestamp bit for CONFIG_HEADERS files,
not CONFIG_FILES files, so classifying stamp-h as the latter kind
would make things work.
