If we're stuck with autoreconf due to a patch that will not be accepted
upstream, then I would suggest that we move away from autoreconf, and
turn this patch into something that changes Makefile.in and configure
directly, with a good explanation in the patch description.

Hopefully, ln implementations in distributions will be upgraded, and at
some time, we'll be able to drop the patch.

The drawback with this solution is that if we want to create/backport
other systemd patches that require autoreconf, then we're screwed. So
maybe carrying our copy of libgcrypt.m4 as a patch in systemd sources is
the easiest solution here.
