The policy of Fedora is to regenerate generated files in the source code of a package. python3.spec runs "autoconf" and "autoheader" to regenerate configure and pyconfig.h.

IMHO it would be good to have such recipe upstream, something like "make regen-all".

I'm not sure if we can include it in "make regen-all". Currently, the main mandatory Linux job on Travis CI runs "make regen-all" and then ensure that no file has been modified. Problem: configure changes depending on the autoconf version, and usually a Linux distribution only includes a single autoconf version... That's why you may have noticed the "rpath dance" in the generated configure script... Depending on the autoconf version, you get rpath or not...

Most developers seem to be used to "autoconf && autoheader", so it's not obvious that "make regen-configure" would benefit to anyone. I just close the issue.
