This is super annoying. First, your patch is wrong because the bootstrap script most likely needs autoconf and automake, possibly libtool as well, and you haven't added these to the fakeroot dependencies. But above all, it means that you would now be adding the build of autoconf and automake to *every* Buildroot build (since essentially host-fakeroot is always built). This is really annoying. So I'd prefer if we just took the Debian patch that works around the original problem.
