Well, I found something, after having this patch installed for a while.
As I am not 100% sure, I also copied bug-automake, in case.

With this patch in CVS Autoconf, CVS Automake fails the tests
  subdir5.test pr300-lib.test distname.test
(at least).  This is due to `configure' removing a.c, which looks like a 
bug in this patch to me.

Cheers,
Ralf
