An example logfile snippet which hopefully shows the usefulness of this 
patch:

---[file: libxcb-1.9.1-1-x86_64-build.log]---
$ cd /home/miki/pkg/abs/extra/libxcb/src/libxcb-1.9.1
$ patch -Np1 -i 
/home/miki/pkg/abs/extra/libxcb/src/libxcb-1.1-no-pthread-stubs.patch
patching file configure.ac

$ patch -Np1 -i 
/home/miki/pkg/abs/extra/libxcb/src/libxcb-1.9.1-configure-ac-reorder.patch
patching file configure.ac
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-xinput --enable-xkb --disable-static

Kind regards,
