Feel free to do so, but ... are you sure you understand what you are

I'm with Toshio. I routinely re-libtoolize/re-autoconf most of my
packages, and have absolutely no intention of accepting the advice
given here, because *it doesn't work*.
PEBKAC
I've tried working with the
old autoconf scripts embedded in upstream packages. It hasn't worked
in the past and I don't expect it to start working in the future,
considering the frequency with which the Fedora toolset changes in
incompatible ways. What is suggested here is morally equivalent to
patching at the assembly code level instead of the source level, and
I ain't gonna put up with that.
Wrong.
What people like Toshio and you miss: auto*generated files are
(upstream) maintainer generated _sources_, not being meant to be
automatically generated nor regenerated.
