This assumes you're running autogen.sh from the source tree. Many folks
prefer todo a vpath builds, so it might be invoked from outside the
source tree like

   mkdir build
   cd build
   ../autogen.sh

srcdir=`dirname $0`
test -z "$srcdir" && srcdir=.

THEDIR=`pwd`
cd $srcdir

cd $THEDIR

$srcdir/configure ....

would make it cope with VPATH builds.
