configure.ac:246: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:337: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_LIBGCRYPT
configure.ac:342: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_WARN

We end up needing dev-libs/libgcrypt at configure-time for its autoconf/m4 macro because we eautoreconf.

Let's instead drop the bashism patch, use CONFIG_SHELL=bash, and then drop autoreconf.
