Yes, it will. The patch is against the current repo, where the direct calls
to svn have been replaced by calls to the SVN helper. It's the helper that
now:
 - tries to search for a local tarball in ${CT_LOCAL_TARBALLS_DIR}
 - then tries the mirror
 - falls back to downloading via svn

So it goes a bit like that, now:
  eglibc::do_libc_get()
  -> CT_GetSVN "basename" "svn_url" "revision"
     -> [ -f "${local_dir}/${basename}" ]
     -> wget "${mirror_base}/${basename}"
     -> svn co -r "${revision}" "${svn_url}"
... stopping at the first which works.

The patch will not work on ct-ng-1.11.x, you'll have to update to 1.12.0
Now that the 1.12 branch is live, maintenance only happens there. The old
1.11 branch is closed, and no changes will get backported onto 1.11.

It will (hopefully!) work with 1.12.0.
