Most automake projects know how to automatically regenerate the 
autoconf/automake parts if a file has changed.  If the Makefile is 
trying to regenerate autotools parts, then a file has been edited or a 
file timestamp is incorrect.  If a network filesystem like NFS is 
involved, then make sure that the client and server agree on the time 
(such as by using NTP).  If you checked the files into a version 
control system and are using checked-out files, then it may be that 
the version control system did not preserve the time-stamps.

I doubt that NetBSD is excluded.
