There is nothing in any of the INSTALL files to suggest what is supposed to happen if the files pre-exist, but as I said, autogen.sh completely lacks any way to force these files to be re-created by giving the autoreconf call the correct option. My expectation would be that any call to autogen.sh would re-create these files.
