Hm, if you only applied that particular patch, and didn't run autoconf,
I see now that there is an obvious problem - the patch only changes
erts/autoconf/aclocal.m4, which is used by autoconf when building the
configure script - the corresponding change to configure itself is
actually included in the "loadable drivers" patch, which has the full
erts/autoconf/configure diff.

This was an unintentional effect of juggling too many patches at
once:-), but I won't "fix" it, since that would make different versions
of the two patches incompatible with each other - there is now some
explanatory text on the web page, though. In any case it's preferable
that you apply *all* the patches when working on a new port, at least.
