I've made a very simple and minimalistic pgipio package:

    $ cat package/pigpio/pigpio.mk
    PIGPIO_VERSION = 924b8d2baf2d36336bf9ba320a22f3306783c051
    PIGPIO_SITE = $(call github,ciclonite,pigpio,$(PIGPIO_VERSION))
    PIGPIO_AUTORECONF = YES
    $(eval $(autotools-package))

And it does autoreconf nicely for me.

Care to share your own .mk so we can compare and identify your issue?

It does not build, because there is a missing custom.cext file, but your
direct problem does not happen for me.
