Oh, now I see. The patch actually works the opposite way then I anticipated. It actually introduces `%{sourcesubdir}` while the `%{buildsubdir}` is actually already existing and is the current directory for `%configure` but also `%make` call, as it always was. This also explains the quote bellow, why you don't see need to change the make macros.
