Gah.

I guess you wanted to say "local.mk" and not "override.mk", right?

But in any case, I don't think we want to have a <pkg>_AUTORECONF = YES
in a package "just in case" someone has patches against this package in
his external tree. Otherwise, all autoconf packages should be
<pkg>_AUTORECONF = YES.

So, we've got two options here:

 1. Say that having to change the original .mk file of a package in
    Buildroot is a fact of life if you add custom patches for this
    package.

 2. Imagine a mechanism that allows the "external" stuff to set
    autoreconf on a per-package basis.
