Um, sure it does:

  gs234@kern:~/freeciv$ patch -p0 < vsnprintf_final.diff 
  patching file `acinclude.m4'
  patching file `configure.in'
  patching file `common/Makefile.in'
  patching file `common/ioz.c'
  patching file `common/support.c'
  patching file `server/report.c'
  patching file `server/stdinhand.c'

I took great care to remove all generated files before making the
diff.  Or did you mean something else?

This doesn't happen for me, neither with nor without the patch.  I
have a memory of seeing this message some time in the distant past,
however.  (Perhaps automake and/or autoconf ought to be run before
autoheader?)

Excuse me, but didn't I tell you there's NO HOPE for the
 survival of OFFSET PRINTING?
