Your patch applies cleanly to the configure script provided by
default in the source code tarball:

$ patch < ../configure.patch  
Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...
The text leading up to this was:

...but the problem remains.  slocal.c is not able to find the right

If you want access to a NetBSD machine to do some tests let me know.
If I can help you in other ways do not hesitate in asking!  I will
do my best to help you.  :-)
