Remove the patchlet and it should build fine.
Aha! Thanks. Somehow, I missed that. The only change was part of a patch from upstream to replace a buggy use of valloc with use of malloc instead, such that configure no longer needed to test for the presence of valloc. I can see no problem with undoing that change in configure.ac and touching configure. > [1] It actually FTBFS for me, with auto* installed: Interesting. I'm not very motivated to chase that down in 1.14, if for no other reason than unstable is using 1.15 at this point.
