Unrelated to your question, but FWIW PatchNNN is not required, all
patches can be merely  "Patch: filename" and they'll get applied
in the order they are listed in the spec.

Rather than fixing the root cause, if you want a relatively simple
workaround still, you could merely move the conditional into the
patch hack:

  if test $(uname -m) == "riscv64"
  then
    ...autoconf patch stuff...
  fi

or something along those lines </hand-waving-suggestion>
