There is more than one way to fix such issues, but in that case it is 
a bit strange that autotools are rerun since you didn't patch the
corresponding files (as far as I can tell from looking at the build 
log). Maybe the timestamps are not right in the upstream tarball? 
The make commands calling the autotools should only be called if a 
resulting file is older than the file it comes from.

A ugly workaround -- but I doubt it is right in that case -- could also
be to package automake19 and BuildRequires it.
