What patch?  I didn't see it.

But it won't run.  Try running the 2.18.2 testsuite against it!

Apply the attached patch to the m4/kernel.m4 file in any of the recent
distribution packages and the, in the source directory, type:

  autoconf -fiv

to reconfigure the package this you will need autoconf 2.59 or better,
automake 1.9.5 or better, libtool 1.5.14 or better, gettext 0.14.1 or
better, and texinfo 4.6.  See also, README-cvs in the package for
instructions on preparing the source directory.

If the patch works well for you, it will be in the next release.

+dnl	Recent 2.6.15+ kernels include autoconf.h from the build directory instead of the source

 dnl	Non-kbuild (2.4 kernel) always needs include directories to be in the
 dnl	build directory.
