The code is only executed when running buildconf to re-create
configure. This is not normally done during package build. Therefore
the patch to build/config-stubs is sufficient to avoid the problem in
the future if/when someone needs to re-run buildconf again. I have
committed the patch to be included in 2.4.7-2.
