I had the same problem. It's a combination of two things:

  - Firstly some of the AC_DEFINE calls in configure.in are missing
    a third argument which means autoheader aborts without updating
    the config.h.in file.

  - Secondly autogen.sh runs autoheader before aclocal, which means
    that it may not see the up to date set of defines that need to be
    added to config.h.in when it runs.

If both those things are changed and autogen.sh is rerun then a correct 
config.h.in will be created.
