Let's try to continue from here. Instead of the "trivial" patch please
now use
diff --git a/src/xfns.c b/src/xfns.c
index 3f0d8f3fcd0..e47f5219a6f 100644
--- a/src/xfns.c

Do you see any error message in the terminal? Now set
(setq default-frame-alist '((menu-bar-lines . 0)))
and do C-x 5 2. How does that behave?
