Always? I'd only do it if needed - so if you patch either configure.ac or any of the Makefile.am files.
As a former maintainer for a non-i386 arch I can tell that many provided "configure" files are outdated for ports to new non-i386. So yes, run autoreconf -fi unconditionally.
It requires a larger stack in the Buildrequires (automake, autoconf, libtool) and in some cases even more - hence, 'always' running autpreconf does not appear like a sound advise.
Since Leap or SLE is built just once there is little overhead. It may cost a few more minutes towards GA. Olaf
