Given the version number I take it this is 2025.02.15 or 2025.02.16?
I cannot reproduce it here. Such automake invocations normally happen if
the Makefile.am is newer than Makefile.in, which is not the case for
21.1.23:
stat xserver_xorg-server-21.1.23/hw/xfree86/drivers/modesetting/Makefil*

Do you have any local patches modifying
hw/xfree86/drivers/modesetting/Makefile.am without also patching the
Makefile.in?
