You may use the AM_MAINTAINER mode, or fix the timestamps of the various auto* files before calling configure. Use something like this: (order is important) touch configure.ac \ (or configure.in) && touch aclocal.m4 \ && touch configure \ && touch config.h.in \ (or whatever is in AM_CONFIG_HEADER) && touch `find . -name Makefile.in` (and other *.in files) ./configure $(FLAGS)...
