I've never heard of this problem...probably something to do with the 
cvs->svn conversion.

Much of this code is new, so the chance for errors is high.

just type "svn diff"...then use the output as the patch.  Usually "svn 
diff > patch.diff" will give the patchfile.

If you can post a patch of the changes that allow you to compile it, we 
can probably integrate them.  Send it to bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx even 
better, one patch per e-mail to that address.
