These directions definitely look like they should be performed after
the patch. The aclocal command will regenerate the aclocal.m4 file,
so that it can recognize system-wide libraries with m4 files, as well
as macros defined in the m4/ subdirectory of the source tree.
autoheader is for config.h.in, automake for Makefile.in ... (I'm not
sure about the (cd m4 && make -f Makefile.am.in))

The info files for autoconf have a section about this, and recommend
replacing something like LIBOBJS="$LIBOBJS foo.o" with
AC_LIBOBJ([foo])
