The standard %setup macro should unpack these packages in convenient

Configuration and compilation

Packagers are encouraged to call autoreconf whenever possible. It
guarantees correct build of packages on platforms, that was not
supported by autotools in the time of the source release.
autoreconf -f -i
I think there is some argument that running the autotools at the end of
the %prep may be appropriate. It all depends on what you expect out of
the %prep.
If the purpose of %prep is simply to unpack and patch the source, then
autoreconf is not appropriate there.
If the purpose of %prep is to prepare the software to be
configured/built then autoreconf may be appropriate. I think once a
statement is made, then the appropriate solution can be chosen and
explained.
