Comment(by shreevatsa.public@…):

 The problem is some Autotools nonsense I will never understand. [It seems
 that the build phase calls configure again (to generate files currently
 missing?), and in the process some of the effects of the patches get
 overwritten.]

 Anyway, everything works fine if you first apply the patches, then run
 [http://developer.pidgin.im/viewmtn/revision/file/e602a35f60e3d423d43bacc72fcb7239c8b43cf0/autogen.sh
 autogen.sh] (which calls configure and fails, but nevermind), *then* run
 configure and build. [So you could just add running autogen.sh to the
 post-patch/pre-configure phase.]

 Someone who understands what's actually going on will probably have a
 simpler way to do this, so I'm not submitting a patch.
