This is probably only a partial fix. If you look at the various
dependencies in Makefile.in, ensuring that configure is newer than
$(am__configure_deps) is only one case that needs to be handled. You
also need to ensure that e.g. Makefile.in is newer than
$(srcdir)/Makefile.am $(srcdir)/Make.rules $(am__configure_deps), that
aclocal.m4 is newer than $(am__aclocal_m4_deps), etc.

Touching various files in the right order can be made to work, but
there's more to it than just touching configure. Configuring with
--disable-maintainer-mode and therefore disabling all these autotools
rules is probably a more robust solution.
