I guess an in-tree build is taken care of by .gitignore. An out-of-tree build is more robust:

mkdir path/to/builddir
cd path/to/builddir
path/to/srcdir/autogen.sh --what-ever
make

will create 'configure' in the git tree, but all the other generated files are in builddir. Your git tree will be (almost) clean, even if .gitignore isn't kept up to date (really? that happens?☺)
