Nope. You should never check in generated files, it's simply not how it's
done. It causes constant problems with the scripts being out of date and
refusing to regenerate. It's a giant PITA on the few projects I have to work
on that check in either configure or libtool.
I do never checke in the generated files into the repository.
(btw, what does this mode add to the build log?). Could we force
a reconf when the mode is enabled? I fear that requiring automake to be
installed on a system could cause headaches (at least to me) when
testing the build on systems that don't have the full GNU stack installed.
It never has for me.
To support building on systems without auto* I usually include the
generated files into the distribution. Thus a "make dist" on an automake
supporting system, a copy of the tar and a "configure && make" on the
critical system is sufficient.
