New submission from STINNER Victor <vstin...@redhat.com>:

The policy of Fedora is to regenerate generated files in the source code of a 
package. python3.spec runs "autoconf" and "autoheader" to regenerate configure 
and pyconfig.h.

IMHO it would be good to have such recipe upstream, something like "make 
regen-all".

I'm not sure if we can include it in "make regen-all". Currently, the main 
mandatory Linux job on Travis CI runs "make regen-all" and then ensure that no 
file has been modified. Problem: configure changes depending on the autoconf 
version, and usually a Linux distribution only includes a single autoconf 
version... That's why you may have noticed the "rpath dance" in the generated 
configure script... Depending on the autoconf version, you get rpath or not...
