I am sorry I am not sure how the link you referenced in the doco relates 
to the issue in the error report.

I did not receive the email and the list archive 
(https://lists.rtems.org/pipermail/users/2017-January/date.html) does 
not show the email as having been posted to the list.

No nothing is missing. I guess debian has patched autoconf as indicated 
in the bug report and yes the RSB does download it's own version, this 
is a requirement of the RTEMS kernel source the RSB needs to meet.

I guess a recent texinfo version has exposed the issue. I suggest you 
get the patch from the link in the bug report, create a patch for 
rtems-tools.git to add the autoconf patch, then create a patch to the 
RSB adding the patch to the autoconf build, finally 'git send-email' the 
patches to devel at rtems.org for review.
