Well, since 'configure' is a generated file, this is not so simple to
solve, actually.  The real solution is to acquire GNU autoconf or GNU
gcc and either regenerate 'configure' with autoconf, or recompile with
gcc.  A work around may be to see if there is a 'strerror.o' object
file in the /.../common/ directory, and use that to link the rwhois
client.

Another solution is just to add this line to config.h

#undef const

which is basically what all these patches would have done.
