Yes, but this might be the only way that you can get it to work in the
short-term. To keep your changes for the future, you could use diff to
compare your source tree with an original copy, then use patch to reapply
them later.

make _should_ regenerate it when it sees that the source code is newer
than the generated source.

If not, then the autogen.sh script might help to make it work, but it will
probably give you extra problems.
