From what I have seen, if you patch configure.in/ac or a

you should call the auto* tools from the spec file - typically in the

FWIW, I find it a very bad idea to run autoreconf or somesuch in spec
files. The right way to do it, IMHO, is to bundle with the patch for
the configure.in/.ac or Makefile.am the patches for the generated
files (and maybe some additional touch statements), to make sure you
don't depend on the exact version of the auto* tools that you have
installed to be able to rebuild the package, which is how these tools
are meant to be used.
