Anyway, in general I agree. Better prepare patch files. Relying on
arbitrary autotools versions and "autoreconf" to create good and
compatible output bears a risk. It depends on what projects you need to
patch, on the complexity of the autotools input files, and on whether they
make poor assumptions (or access variables they ought not).
The patches for the generated files are usually huge and full of unrelated
changes due to some minor patchlevel change of the autotools or the line
numbers changing in the input files and thus won't apply anymore to the
next upstream release.
Read my previous answer to Michael
So this type of patches is a major PITA to work with.
Regenerate the patch and you're done with it.
