Unrelated to your question, but FWIW PatchNNN is not required, all
patches can be merely "Patch: filename" and they'll get applied
in the order they are listed in the spec.

Rather than fixing the root cause, if you want a relatively simple
workaround still, you could merely move the conditional into the
patch hack:
if test $(uname -m) == "riscv64"
then
...autoconf patch stuff...
fi
or something along those lines </hand-waving-suggestion>
