Oh well, it seems I suffered an autotools confusion.  The patch to
winsup/acinclude.m4 is completely unnecessary.  Calling aclocal with the
correct include paths creates apparently correct aclocal.m4 files.  So,
just scratch the winsup/acinclude.m4 patch.  Regenerating the aclocal.m4
files is sufficient.
