Having the verbose name of configure seems redundant; I can't think
of any real-world situation where, say, "binutils config.status" is
created by "gcc configure".

So

GNU Autoconf config.status 2.49e
generated automatically by configure,
which was generated by GNU Autoconf 2.49e

is better, I think.


Alternatively, if the GCS allow for extra info after the copyright
stuff, you could have

binutils config.status 2.10.x
generated automatically by configure
and invoked on ...

Copyright...
[GPL Warranty]
...

Version of configure used:
`./configure --version`
