Yes I definitely am:

The use of the Configure.ac and the Makefile.in file are probably well
known to you.. I deleted both Makefile and configure and then ran:

# autoconf259

that creates ./configure

after which i run configure that creates my Makefile

I hope not as it is very important to the functioning of jailkit in an
freebsd environment. What i would suggest is creating a file in the
/etc/jailkit dir that contains the links that should be created at
start-up... and creating a script that can be run at boot in an rc like
style that recreates these links.....
