Not sure what configure looks like after patching, but here is the 
"upstream" (as it were) version:

# see if we should be enabling SCTP support 



AC_ARG_ENABLE(sctp,
         [AS_HELP_STRING([--enable-sctp],[include tests to measure SCTP 
performa\
nce ])])

case "$enable_sctp" in
         yes)
                 use_sctp=true
                 AC_CHECK_HEADERS(netinet/sctp.h,,use_sctp=false,
[[
#include <sys/socket.h> 

]])
                 case "$host" in
                 *-*-freebsd7.*)
                         # FreeBSD 7.x SCTP support doesn't need -lsctp. 

                         ;;
                 *)
                         AC_HAVE_LIBRARY(sctp,,use_sctp=false)
                         ;;
                 esac
                 AC_CHECK_MEMBER(struct 
sctp_event_subscribe.sctp_adaptation_lay\
er_event,
                                 , , [#include <netinet/sctp.h>]) 

                 if test 
"$ac_cv_member_struct_sctp_event_subscribe_sctp_adaptat\
ion_layer_event" = "yes"; then
                         AC_DEFINE([HAVE_SCTP_ADAPTATION_LAYER_EVENT], 1,
                                   [Define to 1 if `struct 
sctp_event_subscribe'\
  has a `sctp_adaptation_layer_event' member])
                 fi
                 ;;
         no)
                 use_sctp=false
                 ;;
         '')
                 # whatever 

                 use_sctp=false
                 ;;
         *)
                 AC_MSG_ERROR([--enable-sctp takes yes or no])
                 ;;
esac

which suggests that either it didn't find sctp.h or libsctp.  The 
comment about FreeBSD7.X not needing -lsctp makes me guess that might be 
the check that failed and there needs to be an enhancement to exclude 
that check on FreeBSD8.* as well?

Finding the relevant code in your post-patch configure is probably 
indicated.  The code in configure will be a bit larger than that in 
configure.ac

happy benchmarking,
