AFAIR the reason for the fonts.conf in there was, that the updated native fontconfig was incompatible for the config file with the linux one. The goal is that the linux fontconfig uses the native fontconfig configuration. We need to investigate this further. Maybe the versions are still incompatible. Note, if you run fc-cache, I think this will create some files in the directories where the fonts are. This should not be done with the linux version of fc-cache, as this will overwrite the files from the native fc-config run. Ideally they should be compatible, but I prefer if the fc-cache runs is done by the font ports, not by the linux-fontconfig ports. I don't think it is a good idea that the linux ports influence the native ports. Bottom line: I don't think it is as easy as the patch suggests. There needs to be some more investigation (Does linux fontconfig fall through to the right file for the native fontconfig configuration? Are they compatible? ...).
