Question about autoreconf to regenerate configuration files

Hello,

I am working with Sebastian Huber on the previously-discussed 
thread-local objects configuration option. If I may, I'd like to ask a 
question about regenerating the configuration files.

I added a new source file which defines one of these tls objects in 
libc/errno/ and added the file to the LIB_SOURCES in errno/Makefile.am. 
I then ran autoreconf in the libc directory.

nm shows me that the new object is defined in the symbol table, but I 
have also unwittingly modified well over 100 files (numerous 
Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, and configure files).

I'd like to understand: Is this expected or desirable? Should I not be 
using autoreconf for this?

Thank you very much for your time!

Sincerely,

Matt
