It's not strictly necessary, because the issue here is just executing
"command -v -c" (followed by "onfig" :-), but of course it will still
work.

Well, yes, I had the same impression. But at the same time
get-executable-or-default is constructed in such a way that either of
the variants must be a real executable:

--8<-----------
# get-supplied-or-default-executable
#
# Usage: absolute-executable-path-or-empty = $(call 
get-executable-or-default,variable,default)
#
define get-executable-or-default
$(if $($(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$($(1)),$(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$(2)))
endef
_ge_attempt = $(if $(get-executable),$(get-executable),$(call _gea_err,$(2)))
_gea_err  = $(if $(1),$(error Please set '$(1)' appropriately))
--8<-----------

See? Both alternatives in the $(if $($(1)) monster do _ge_attempt... So
one could say that the change may rather look like this (untested):

--8<-----------
