Yes, I also had this a few times. You can work around this also by
doing a make distcheck in the source tree and then do the build using
a fresh, dedicated build directory; e.g.

andy@alice:~/src/contrib/zinf% make distclean
andy@alice:~/src/contrib/zinf% mkdir build
andy@alice:~/src/contrib/zinf% cd build
andy@alice:~/src/contrib/zinf/build% ../configure && make

Try re-running autogen.sh, which should now be fixed wrt this problem.

OK.
