It's a factor of three different issues as far as I could understand:

1) AM_MAINTAINER_MODE was *not* set, hence rebuild enabled
2) cvs update doesn't preserve timestamps
3) we don't want autoconf building all around the source tree even
   if you happen to have the correct autoconf-tools installed

Everything should be okay now, just update & build away.

I advise not attempting to build if you happen to have a checkout from
the window of brokenness, or conflicts might result after dist/file is
updated the next time.  Yet another reason to have a r/o source tree.
