In case you don't mind that and the
"run autogen.sh with no options" restriction, here's a complete patch:

Subject: [PATCH] build: automatically rerun ./bootstrap when needed
When "git pull" (or any other operation) brings in a new version
of the gnulib git submodule, you must rerun the bootstrap and
autogen.sh script. With this change, it's done via rules included
into GNUmakefile.
* cfg.mk: Maintain a new file, .git-module-status, containing
the current submodule status. If it doesn't exist or its content
is different from what "git submodule status" prints, then rerun
./bootstrap and ./autogen.sh.
* .gitignore: Add .git-module-status
