I haven't followed this discussion very closely, but maybe the patches
weren't made against the current CVS head revision to begin with?

Anyway: offsets and fuzz don't necessarily mean trouble.  Only actual

How could that be?  It only has 994 lines ;-)

Generally, you'll need rather current versions of automake and autoconf
installed to be able to work with the CVS sources.  And don't forget to
run ./prepare before you do anything else after the 'cvs checkout'.
