Comment(by macports@…):

 I had need to get other autoconf-dependent software working quickly, so I
 needed a workaround.

 It appears this was introduced with autoconf 2.66 upstream, and the
 maintainer indicated official release with fix was a couple weeks out, so
 I stopped looking for patches, and started looking for a downgrade path to
 2.65.

 I've never had 2.65 installed on this machine, so here is how I went about
 installing it - per the howto on installing old ports @
 http://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/InstallingOlderPort

 {{{
 cd
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/devel/autoconf
 port uninstall autoconf
 curl
 https://svn.macports.org/export/66088/trunk/dports/devel/autoconf/Portfile
 > Portfile
 curl
 https://svn.macports.org/export/66088/trunk/dports/devel/autoconf/files/0001
 -Fix-AC_FUNC_MMAP-regression-with-C-compiler-in-2.65.patch > files/0001
 -Fix-AC_FUNC_MMAP-regression-with-C-compiler-in-2.65.patch
 curl
 https://svn.macports.org/export/66088/trunk/dports/devel/autoconf/files/0002-Fix-2.64
 -AC_TYPE_INT-_T-macro-body-text-regression.patch > files/0002-Fix-2.64
 -AC_TYPE_INT-_T-macro-body-text-regression.patch
 port install autoconf
 }}}

 That installed autoconf @ 2.65_1 and other software was able to
 successfully build with it
