Such we change the guidelines to always run autoreconf? This would
also help with new architecture bringup because those often need
autotools fixes, but it will choke on really old or manually patched
upstream configure scripts.
Some packages will not build when autoreconf is called outside
autogen.sh, and these packages typically do not distribute autogen.sh.
E.g. gedit. Packagers would need to work around such issues.
