Workaround: see 'info Automake maintainer-mode'.

Solution: reconfiguration shouldn't happen if all files are up to date.
Just touching them in random order may not help.  It may also be that
the files are out of date due to some other reason (wrong dependencies
or so).  If their reconfiguration does not end up with up to date files
then you could try to investigate (with 'make -d' for example) why
rules get triggered.

Generally, the dependency setup looks like explained in
  info Autoconf "Making configure Scripts"

and with Automake, Makefile.in files depend upon Makefile.am files as
well as dependencies of configure.

Cheers,
Ralf
