Since RSXNTDJ was crafted with gcc 2.7.2.1, I'd guess it will be
easier to set it up with that version of gcc.

Usually, you need to invoke `patch' with -p0 switch.  If that doesn't
work either, you will need to figure out from which directory to
invoke `patch' to make it work, or reply to those prompts with the
correct file names.

(And impatience is not a good advisor when setting up software, at
least in my experience.)
