autogen.sh execute some program (automake, autoconf, m4 and other) so is
normal that compiling in a different machine output is different.

You should just run autogen.sh in a machine where you have the most
recent software and use configure to configure software (just pass
--help param to autogen.sh and run configure).

Many software do not distribute autogen.sh (only configure), we
distribute even autogen.sh only because people that want to rebuild
configure stuff can do it.
