Partially. Bizarrely, the Makefile patch that I gave only suppresses
most of the warnings about deprecation.

I now get an error around:

compiling nkf

Stop.

Once I can get everything built with this, I will be looking at making
sure that some of the prerequisites are there (e.g., zlib, openssl,
etc.).
