I'd suggest not to rebuild configures and Makefiles in release build.
For example, building rpm now does:

+ ./configure --mandir=/usr/share/man/en/
creating cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/ginstall -c
...
creating config.h
+ make
cd . && aclocal
cd . && automake --gnu --include-deps Makefile
cd . && autoconf
/bin/sh ./config.status --recheck
running /bin/sh ./configure  --mandir=/usr/share/man/en/ --no-create --no-recursion
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/ginstall -c

There is no need for running aclocal, automake and autoconf IMHO, if
configure script is already in tarball.
