You are patching configure.ac, which causes auto* to try to regenerate
./configure. Remove the patchlet and it should build fine. As you are not
shipping the corresponding change to ./configure the thing is
ineffictive anyway, unless you are rebuildung on a system that has the
whole auto* shebang installed.[1]

[1] It actually FTBFS for me, with auto* installed:
cd . && /bin/bash /tmp/tar-1.14/config/missing --run aclocal-1.8 -I m4
aclocal: m4/gettext.m4: 378: macro `AM_LC_MESSAGES' not found in library
aclocal: macro `jm_GLIBC21' required but not defined
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 1
