PATCHLEVEL is defined just above the line with jot, it looks like this
for me:

PATCHLEVEL=     13
PATCHFILES!=    /usr/bin/jot -s " " -w patch%02d ${PATCHLEVEL} 1
${PATCHLEVEL}

So it's simply a local variable, and the whole construct is there just
to make it easier to define the list of patches, i.e. when you run it
from shell, it outputs the following:

$ jot -s " " -w patch%02d 13 1 13
patch01 patch02 patch03 patch04 patch05 patch06 patch07 patch08 patch09
patch10 patch11 patch12 patch13

And I'm wondering how exactly it's failing the build for you?
