You should use autoconf/automake when you create the patch, but not at package build time. There are plenty of incompatible autoconf and automake versions, trusting that autoconf and/or automake in the buildroot happens to do the right thing with source written often for a different version of the autoconf/automake is overly optimistic. When autoconf generated output put the line numbers into configure script, patching it wasn't easy, but now that $LINENO is used, things work just fine when the patches include even changes to generated files.
