Thanks; I installed it after fixing things up as per your comments.

Your explanation of _fmode led me to find a minor porting bug. 
Fx_load_color_file [!HAVE_X_WINDOWS] uses fopen with "rt"; unlike "rb" 
this isn't specified by POSIX and a web search suggests that it does 
fail on a few older platforms.  Emacs no longer modifies _fmode so "r" 
should suffice now anyway.  Also, there are two other places where some 
"rt"-related simplifications can be done.  Proposed further patch attached.
