Patch 2.5 and diffutils 2.7

[PatrickChan]

Dear Sir,

I am trying to install apache_1.3.22 with ssl_1.45 on a Digital Unix Server
with OS 4.0F. The installation requires using command patch to apply the
patch of ssl_1.45 to the apache_1.3.22 configuration file before
compilation.
And it requires the use of Patch2.5.

So I downloaded patch2.5 from prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu, compiled and
installed it.

When I apply the ssl patch with the command patch, it gave me some error
like the followings,
     patching file `Makefile.tmpl'
     Hunk #1 FAILED at 291.
     1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to Makefile.tmpl.rej
     patching file `configure'
     Hunk #1 FAILED at 831.
     Hunk #2 FAILED at 1101.
     Hunk #3 FAILED at 1252.
     Hunk #4 FAILED at 1351.
     Hunk #5 FAILED at 1525.

Then, I read the patch file and found that it contains something like the
followings,
     diff -u -r ../apache_1.3.22/Makefile.tmpl ./Makefile.tmpl

I check the diff command in the server but it didn't support parameter -u,
so I downloaded diffutils 2.7
from the above site again. I ran the script configure, but then got error
when compile it with command 'make'.

Pls find attachement as the output screen for script configure and command
make.

Could you tell me why I fail to compile the diffutils?
I understand that apache and ssl patch does not relate to your site, but I

very much appreciate if you could suggest me on my case.

Thanks in advance
