    Not sure what you refer to as "autoreconf". Do you mean the explicit runs
    of "libtoolize -f ; aclocal ; automake -a ; autoconf"? If so, this is
    necessary because the patches and your %build section modify the
    "configure.in" template and also many Makefile.am templates. Autoconf
    recreates the configure script from configure.in. You could patch the
    configure script directly. Automake recreates Makefile.in templates from
    the modified Makefile.am files. If you didn't run the tools, they would
    run automatically based on timestamp checks.
