Yes, you did miss something. It's even there in 1.6.1.
It is just to make life easier. You simply edit a kernel config file, and
let build.sh do all the work. 

What it does it build a new toolchain, which frequently contains a new, 
shiny, version of `config' which can parse things the old version couldn't. 
It is basically to work-around out-of-sync source tree and userland.

As a I said. This works if your source tree and userland are in-sync,
otherwise things like config will fail.
