The configure script and provided Makefile.in's should be used if
possible, failing which autoconf/automake should be run to re-build
these. For packages which are properly created via "make distcheck"
that don't have any patches that touch the Makefile.am/configure.ac
files, you shouldn't regenerate the configure and Makefile.in files
using the method you used.

The advice in autotools-dev is only for the proper way of going about
regenerating these files, in the event that you've made changes that
need to be propagated over.
