You would need to run “autoreconf” in a pre-configure phase to
regenerate ‘configure’.  And thus you’d need to add Autoconf (and maybe
Automake and Libtool) as native inputs, too.

However, I’d recommend simply patching ‘configure’ itself in a snippet,
using ‘substitute*’.  That way, you won’t have to add these dependencies
and extra phase.

HTH!
