In my experience, autoconf et al will only be re-run if you have changed a Makefile.am or configure.[in|ac] file. Are you, perhaps, using an editor to view one of these files and then saving and exiting? This will of course update the timestamp on the file and cause make to think it's dependants are out of date. The answer in this case is, of course, to stop changing the file modify time. If you're on linux you probably have a command-line program called `stat' which can tell you everything you need to know about the file modify times. If you can find an instance where things are being re-run but haven't been changed that's an interesting bug, but probably not a bug in automake (I'd blame make itself).
