Today I have used grub-2003-01-08-doc.patch to patch
the GRUB cvs version . But I get more than one errors

Because patch cannot pass ,these steps are untested

I am sure I have the proper version of automake and
autoconf.
"automake --version" and "rpm -q automake" both tell
me I have the right version. The same as autoconf.
And I also do "export WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_5=1" and "export
WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1".

Even after these efforts  ,I still cannot make the
combination of 03-01-08.patch and GRUB cvs work.
what important  did  I miss ?
