From b76821281250e0e06727f30bac05afe01ec794d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Hudson Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2017 19:39:38 -0400 Subject: Force autoconf rebuild in maintainer rules autoconf normally avoids recreating files that it does not consider obsolete. Since it knows nothing about patchlevel.h (which we read at autoconf time using m4's esyscmd()), changes to patchlevel.h won't be reflected in configure unless another input to configure has changed, and the maintainer rule will re-run autoconf over and over again. Fix this issue by passing the force flag to autoconf when we invoke it from the maintainer rule.
