autopoint is part of gettext.  The README file states that you must install
gettext.  Some distributions package autopoint in a gettext-devel package. 
The README notes this, and that you will need to install any appropriate
"-devel" or "-dev" packages.  Furthermore, autopoint is only required if
building from git.  We expect users building from git to have the ability
to read and follow the really very simple instructions in the README.

There's no bug, and nothing to patch.

Regards,

Peter
