The patch is just a matter of renaming ‘file_handle’ to something else:

  
http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/w3m/0.5.3-8/070_glibc2.14.patch

So I think this should work:

  (substitute* '("istream.c" "istream.h")
    (("struct[[:blank:]]+file_handle")
     "struct w3m_file_handle"))

Yeah, it’s not exactly X11 either.

Hmm, dunno, maybe make it x11 or expat with a comment pointing to
doc/README?
