Me too, but I don't see a straightforward cc-mode fix for this.

Even if we come up with a fix, for some time we'll have the problem of 
people using old versions of Emacs to look at the new Emacs source code. 
And until there's a fix Emacs is reeeaally sluggish when editing 
config.h at least. So I'd rather fix at least config.h, and (since I've 
already done the work) I'm also mildly inclined to fix the other files 
to be consistent, as in the attached patch (which also covers licenses 
in the other .c and .h files).
