Yes, run autoconf, preferably only in the directory affected.
Make sure to use the same version of autoconf that was last
used in that directory, which you can find by looking at
"configure" (in this case, version 2.59), unless otherwise
noted (eg. by a collective decision to go to a later version).

See the example in sim/common/ChangeLog:

2008-07-11  Hans-Peter Nilsson  <hp@axis.com>

         * common.m4: Add test for libz and zlib.h.
         * configure: Regenerate to track ../common/common.m4 changes.
         * config.in: Ditto.

Thanks for asking!
