The patch to configure contains the following:

*** 3316,3322 ****
  fi
  rm -f conftest*

! if test x$ac_cv_prog_gcc = xyes; then
      echo $ac_n "checking whether ${CC-cc} needs -traditional""... $ac_c" 1>&6
  echo "configure:3322: checking whether ${CC-cc} needs -traditional" >&5
  if eval "test \"`echo '$''{'ac_cv_prog_gcc_traditional'+set}'`\" = set"; then
--- 3316,3322 ----
  fi
  rm -f conftest*

! if test $ac_cv_prog_gcc = yes; then
      echo $ac_n "checking whether ${CC-cc} needs -traditional""... $ac_c" 1>&6
  echo "configure:3322: checking whether ${CC-cc} needs -traditional" >&5
  if eval "test \"`echo '$''{'ac_cv_prog_gcc_traditional'+set}'`\" = set"; then


I am worried that this has undone the patch which was required to get
configure to run properly with anything other than GCC. (I haven't
actually tried 6.3.1, but this change affects that area of the code and
doesn't look healthy...)
