You said the problem was solved by running automake. Well, ./autogen.sh
runs automake. So Raimar's answer is correct: Running ./autogen.sh solves
the problem.

But there another issue: "make" doesn't know when to require another
./autogen.sh run. I think "make" / "make all" should read some kind of
flag/counter to see if we need to rerun ./autogen.sh and abort, and have
"make anyway" as a way to override this test. I am not sure how to
implement this in a sane way, though.
