Depends on the package, but generally you'll need to update the
automake macro at the top of configure.ac (and submit a patch upstream
as this should have been fixed years ago).

Encouraging said upstreams to use autoreconf instead of (likely)
home-grown crazy would be a good move whilst you're talking to them.
