Your patch breaks ./bootstrap in the following way:

  autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --force
  configure.ac:1796: warning: AC_LANG_CONFTEST: no AC_LANG_SOURCE call detected in body
  ./lib/autoconf/lang.m4:199: AC_LANG_CONFTEST is expanded from...
  ./lib/autoconf/general.m4:2894: _AC_LINK_IFELSE is expanded from...
  ./lib/autoconf/general.m4:2911: AC_LINK_IFELSE is expanded from...
  lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4:692: _AS_IF_ELSE is expanded from...
  lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4:699: AS_IF is expanded from...
  ./lib/autoconf/general.m4:2249: AC_CACHE_VAL is expanded from...
  ./lib/autoconf/general.m4:2270: AC_CACHE_CHECK is expanded from...
  aclocal.m4:61: AX_CHECK_LINK_FLAG is expanded from...
  configure.ac:1796: the top level

Please fix it...

Daniel
