Very peculiar indeed.  I looked at the commit history and I see that 
fakepoll.h was moved from "src/replacements" to "include" in these 2 
commits (which you can find in "freetds-src/1-fastforward.patch":

(FreeTDS uses cvs not git. I just used git to construct the patch, which 
is where the SHA1s come from.)

I searched a bit for some residual reference to the old location which 
might play a role when the empty fakepoll.h reappears there. But I don't 
see any good candidates.

Are you absolutely sure that it is autoreconf which is creating the 
empty file? I am starting to wonder if patch is behaving differently for 
you than for me.  When the big freetds-1-fastforward.patch is applied, 
there is no fakepoll.h left behind in the old location. Is it possible 
that patch just empties the file in your case? I have GNU patch 
2.6.1.81-5b68.
