It seems the autotools are used by the configure script if they are
detected. That's a shame; the whole idea behind make(1) is to build
only what's needed, and you certainly don't need to regenerate the
tarball's header files.

Any suggestions on how to control this spurious dependency would be most
welcome.

If you would, please review the mailing list archives for the last few
months. Building tsql was an issue. It was connected iirc with the
format of nm(1) output, which caused libtds to have no symbols (and
rendering it useless). I don't remember if it was AIX or Solaris.

I don't think there's anything we can do autotoolwise. I'd like to at
least document the problem.
