I did the patch & reran configure.  I get exactly the same error from make:

  $ make
  No suffix list.
  Making all in trio
  No suffix list.
  Making all in src
  Make: line 1732: syntax error.  Stop.
  *** Error code 1

  Stop.

I'll look at installing it, but I'm somewhat reluctant.  Attempts to get
a current version of gcc to build were a nightmare, & the developers had
no interest in helping; & I've had at least one case where GNU extensions
to something broke a system script.
