Dave,
I had thought that what I was doing "a". But something that Thomas said this
morning made me realize that it was not.
I therefore started studying further about Git and found Thomas' patch. Using
`patch -b -i <patchfile> configure.d/config_os_headers` it appeared I was
successful in updating configs_os_headers using the patch as the old and new
files differed by what was in the patch.
However it sounds like you are saying that I am still going down the wrong path
for "a". The note with "a" says "instructions on how to do this are on the
website" however I have not been able to find them. I have tried searching for
"5.7.patches branch", I have tried looking at the download areas, I searched
the FAQ, searched the INSTALL and README files, looked through the tutorials
and I am just not having any luck. Is there a chance that someone could
provide me a URL link to those instructions?
Is there any idea when 5.7.1.rc1 will be released?

The problem with simply applying Thomas' patch, is that it also requires
regenerating the configure script (which requires a particular version of
'autoconf'). You have said on several occasions that you are new to
the task of compiling software, so ensuring the correct autoconf environment
is likely to be non-trivial.
I would therefore suggest that the simplest approach is to follow the advice
you have been given several times now:
