diffstat uses a fork of autoconf which we don't package, but we need to autoreconf the configure.in because it has buggy macros. The new version of autoconf however notices that AC_OUTPUT is being called with invalid arguments and refuses to run.
Luckily it's easy to use standard autoconf: delete the hand-coded config_h.in so that autoheader runs, and use the standard form of AC_OUTPUT to generate the Makefile and config.h.
