That's because if master and generated files are changed at
the same time, e.g. through a patch, then make may consider the
generated files not to be newer that the master and will try to
regenerate nonetheless.
Sorry, Axel, this is nonsense.
Really? Try in an arbitray project
touch configure.ac configure
and then watch how make will try to regenerate configure. That will
redefine your perception of "nonsense" ;)
Packagers just need to be careful about preserving timestamps when
patching autotools-generated files such as 'configure'. This has been
discussed on f-e-l before:
