It looks like you tried to apply that patch to Autoconf 2.69.  It won't do the 
job there.  You can try doing some software archaeology to figure out why, but 
it may be simpler to run bleeding-edge Autoconf instead.  If you have up-to-date 
tools you can do something like this:

git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/autoconf.git
cd autoconf
autoreconf -vi
./configure --prefix=/your/favorite/directory
make install

And then /your/favorite/directory/bin/autoconf should contain a copy of 
bleeding-edge Autoconf.
