This was once backported, but subsequently reverted, see:
http://git.pokylinux.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=ec740ac770d2124cbae1ab936d85b8343076c53b
autoconf-native is not available at the point of quilt-native, so
autoreconf is not desirable. This is also the reason for separation
of quilt and quilt-native from the very beginning.
Apart from that, the workaround is solely for target recipe.

The problem still lies in cross building:
--with-patch=${bindir}/patch at build time, it's /usr/bin/patch
which is host utility, if target
${bindir} /= /usr/bin, the file
may not exist.
--with-patch=${STAGING_BINDIR}/patch causes runtime error as
${STAGING_BINDIR} leaks into target scripts
--with-patch=patch this may work, but may fail (in case
the target scripts unset PATH)
This is the problem of such tests without the concept of a target
sysroot.
Thanks,
Qing
