This will make bbox use internal parsing routines for /etc/passwd
and /etc/group files - because we expect to live on a ordinary Unix.

My understanding is that Android does not HAVE those files,
so using internal parsing routines which expect them is
a wrong thing to do.

So I am not applying the patch - need to understand the problem better.

Can you elaborate - what exactly does not compile for you?
