What's the point of committing them at all? They're what's produced by the committer's particular version of auto*. It's like me checking in main.o -- it reflects my compiler chain. Anyone expecting to build from CVS should also be prepared to have suitable auto* tools. The tar files of source releases contain the auto* output so that's useful for posterity and debugging build bug reports.
