Well, I applied the patch to a fresh copy of the source, and here's what I
got.

 "../configure --prefix=/usr/local/plt-4.2.4" seemed to go okay, but I noted
the following errors:

config.status: WARNING:  ../../../../foreign/gcc/libffi/include/Makefile.in
seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting
config.status: creating include/ffi.h
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: WARNING:  ../../../../foreign/gcc/libffi/Makefile.in seems to
ignore the --datarootdir setting
config.status: creating fficonfig.h
config.status: linking ../../../../foreign/gcc/libffi/src/x86/ffitarget.h to
include/ffitarget.h

These may have actually been there before, and I just didn't notice.

>From there, I did a make, which aborted with the following:
