Well, that patch was added in April 2014, so not such a long time ago,
and the commit log was saying:

    Systemd build system now uses the `--relative` option from `ln(1)`.
    This option was added to GNU coreutils 8.16, which is not widely
    deployed yet by GNU/Linux distributions (not available in Debian Wheezy
    for example).

We recently committed some patches to make Buildroot work on RHEL 5.x,
so it would be a bit strange to do this and one hand, and remove this
systemd patch to support old distros on the other hand.

Why are you removing the patch? The code has changed so much that
porting it to v224 is complicated?

This is wrong because since you remove <pkg>_AUTORECONF = YES, you no
longer depend on host-autoconf, host-automake and host-libtool.
