No, I need the other files created by autopoint, in particular the *.m4
files, see:

address@hidden:~/src/gsasl$  autoreconf -v --install
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: running: autopoint
autopoint: File build-aux/config.rpath has been locally modified.
autopoint: *** Some files have been locally modified. Not overwriting them 
because --force has not been specified. For your convenience, you find the 
local modifications in the file '/tmp/aro21747/gtB21792/autopoint.diff'.
autopoint: *** Stop.
autoreconf: autopoint failed with exit status: 1
address@hidden:~/src/gsasl$ 

address@hidden:~/src/gsasl$   AUTOPOINT=true autoreconf -v --install
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: running: true
autoreconf: running: aclocal -I m4 -I gl/m4
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: configure.ac: adding subdirectory lib to autoreconf
autoreconf: Entering directory `lib'
aclocal: couldn't open directory `m4': No such file or directory
