The recommendation here is from EAPI < 2: You will see autotools being used variously in both src_unpack and src_compile. The QA people prefer it in src_unpack — the rationale is that src_unpack handles "getting the package ready to be compiled" — but there is no official policy which mandates this. I believe the appropriate place these days is in src_prepare.
Care to submit a patch? :)

However, I had troubles applying your patch using 'git am -3'. I am not sure why. I presume you used git-format-patch to generate it correct?
