I did something not so much odd as intellectually deficient — I misspelled the file name of the patchfile. Oops.

The setup is an update rather than clean install. id fink-bld gives:
 uid=601(fink-bld) gid=601 groups=601,12(everyone),61(localaccounts),100(_lpoperator)

It looks like I might be dead in the water for a bit now, though. atk1 bails pretty early by accumulating too many errors (and I wasn’t even trying to build that with -m). Many of those were about G_CONST_RETURN being an unknown type.

Thanks for the help.
