Are you sure that the patches apply correctly. I just use homebrew to
build/test autoconf and added
{ :p1 =>
'http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2012-03/txtmjhqa66pjL.txt' }
but I am not even sure if the link you provided is directly patch compatible.
There is a thread going on https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/10686 over
at homebrew.
Here is what I get
```
/usr/bin/curl -qf#LA Homebrew 0.8.1 (Ruby 1.8.7-249; Mac OS X 10.7.3)
