"./autogen.sh" (which is in the CVS image, but not part of the distribution)
reports a requirement of a later version of automake:

(automake --version) < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1 || {
        echo
        echo "You must have automake 1.4 or later installed to compile $PROJECT."
        echo "Download the appropriate package for your distribution/OS,"
        echo "or get the source tarball at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/automake/";
        DIE=1
}


What caused the build to run "automake" on your system? Did you update your local
Ethereal archive with the patch, or did you do a fresh install from ethereal-0.8.5.tar.gz?
