"To get it to build you need to add:/
/BuildRequires:  zlib-ng-compat-devel
/
/to the spec file but now the tests are failing."/

Did that and now the build goes further but still fails for 
your stated reason and maybe others.
I removed the call to run ...config-c99.patch

My build proceedure begins on the host machine running F43 
which has rpm-build installed and I work w/o being hardwired 
to the net which I need to be when I am in the rl10 vm.
I download the ...tar.gz from the github and then unpack 
that to a source directory where I then, following the 
Readme, do the first three steps to populate the config.h.in 
and Makefile.PL / Makefile.real.
I then edit the spec file from BackupPC-XS-0.62 for the 
-0.63 version, patch or no and buildRequires fields and 
place a copy of this file in the BackuPC-XS-0.63rc1 source.
Following this I re-tar.gz the source and then with another 
copy of the spec in the top level source dir I run rpmbuild 
-ts BackuPC-XS-0.63rc1.tar.gz.
After that I move the resultant src.rpm to the rl10vm and 
run mock on that target.

Convoluted process, but I'm learning a bit.
