Plain 'make' should invoke automake and autoconf as needed.
However, you have to have those tools installed; if they're
not installed, 'make' skips the step.

However, this particular patch should work on your host
even if automake and autoconf are not installed.  Can
you please try removing all your .o files and recompiling?
That might be enough to do the trick.  If not, please
try applying that patch to a fresh copy of coreutils,
and building from that.
