unfortunatelly, the archive has malformed the diff, so it's not usable.

But the change is trivial: "$<" is replaced by "address@hidden" in 
bin/Makefile.am.
You can make it by hand.

If you _then_ make the same change in bin/Makefile.in, you won't have to
run Automake to regenerate it.

If you checkout a CVS tree, you can use cvs di then.
The following command would extract the patch from it:
        cvs di -r1.17 -r1.18 bin/Makefile.am >../autoconf-make.patch
But it's too complicated for this simple change.

Hope this solves your problem,
