Wait, wait, why is this needed? This is a standard autotools package,
it shouldn't need autoheader at build time.
Isn't it that there is a bogus timestamp or something like that forces
some files to be re-generated ?
This problem only appears on Joseph's machine:
http://autobuild.buildroot.net/?reason=json-glib%.
It doesn't happen on my autobuilder, even though it doesn't have
autoheader installed system-wide.
So I'm skeptical about this fix.
Best regards,
Thomas
