I've identified the build problem, and it is quite simple and fixed by
the following patch:

 #endif


There is still something going wrong at the install step; the temporary
libtool wrapper script created during compile is being installed instead
of the actual bat binary.  I confess to complete mystification as to why
this is happening.  I've searched through the build scripts for a place
where that replacement should happen, and through the build output for
an error saying it's not happening, and I can't find anything.  I don't
know whether this is a Gentoo-specific problem, and therefore I don't
know where it should be fixed.
