You aren't missing anything, but none of those are really an issue. You do occasionally need to update 'config', but unless a serious bug crops up in make or gcc there is no need to upgrade them. The kernel itself builds independently of all libraries and all standard header files; pretty much all source it needs is in /usr/src/sys.
