It doesn't seem that it is fixed in HG or by this patch (though I do get:
                         patching file configure.in
                         Hunk #1 succeeded at 1579 with fuzz 2 (offset
-992 lines).
                         patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
when patching), I get the exact same error in both. I don't pretend to
know a lot about alsa workings, but is this patch in the right area as
the error complains about 'system_utsname', not 'init_utsname'?
