I have tried it and it fails:

 >>> kmod 18 Autoreconfiguring
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `build-aux'.
libtoolize: copying file `build-aux/ltmain.sh'
libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR, `m4'.
libtoolize: copying file `m4/libtool.m4'
libtoolize: copying file `m4/ltoptions.m4'
libtoolize: copying file `m4/ltsugar.m4'
libtoolize: copying file `m4/ltversion.m4'
libtoolize: copying file `m4/lt~obsolete.m4'
libkmod/docs/gtk-doc.make:270: error: HAVE_GTK_DOC does not appear in 
AM_CONDITIONAL
libkmod/docs/Makefile.am:33:   'libkmod/docs/gtk-doc.make' included from 
here

And also, if the kmod-0002-add-backup-implementation-of-be32toh.patch 
modifies the configure.ac file, and there is no KMOD_AUTORECONF = YES in 
the kmod.mk file, why don't we clean that patch by removing the 
configure.ac bit?

Regards,
