You seem to be under the impression that there is some secret hidden codebase
somewhere in which changes have been made. There isn't.  Everyone's busy.

Where's that page then?  As a complaint, this is probably the most useless
information ever.  If you send the last few lines of your make output (from the
point it executed the compiler to the point make noticed the error) to the list
there's a moderate chance you might get some help.

This patch fixes some bugs in code which may or may not be related to your
