After cvs co && patch < hiper-5.patch i have run the ./buildconf.
I have called the ./buildconf in ares file separately how about to
change the last part:
---
if test -d ares; then
  cd ares
  echo "buildconf: running ares/libtoolize"
$libtoolize --copy --automake --force || die "The libtoolize command failed"
  echo "buildconf: running ares/aclocal"
  ${ACLOCAL:-aclocal} $ACLOCAL_FLAGS || die "The ares aclocal command failed"
  echo "buildconf: running ares/autoconf"
  ${AUTOCONF:-autoconf}     || die "The ares autoconf command failed"
  cd ..
fi
---
to
---
if test -d ares; then
  cd ares
  echo "buildconf: running in ares"
  ./buildconf
  cd ..
fi

The Problem ist that the Makefile.in was not created.
After that the libcares isn't build before the link state:
