bug#68195: [PATCH core-updates 0/1] gnu: flite: Fix build.

[Simon South]

Here's a patch that allows flite, a lightweight speech-synthesis engine, to
build in core-updates, by applying a small patch to one of its makefiles as
outlined in an earlier email[0].

I've tested this on AArch64 and x86-64 and everything seems fine.

Note I haven't received a response from Dr. Black in almost two weeks' time,
and my email asking to join the festival-talk mailing list[1] has bounced, so
it appears flite may be unmaintained at the moment.
