bash 2.05 lib/readline/rldefs.h line 76 missing closing ')' character

The following comments relate to BASH source code v2.05 on the NCR MP-RAS SysV r4 derivative. Once modified as noted below, ./support/config.guess reports i586-ncr-sysv4.3.03 on this machine.

The file lib/readline/rldefs.h on line 76 is missing a closing parenthesis, and on line 77 the declaration of strnicmp is missing the third parameter (int).

In addition, though I couldn't figure out the right way to set up the configure scripts to determine this automatically, this platform has gethostname() but it is in –lnsl. I manually hacked config.h after running the configure script to change "#undef HAVE_GETHOSTNAME" to "#define HAVE_GETHOSTNAME" to make it compile.

Also, to make the support/config.guess script able to identify the oddball NCR machine on which I noticed the above problem:
