Problem compiling LNUM patch and Lua 5.1.4

[dcharno@...]

Has anyone else had problems compiling Lua 5.1.4 with the LNUM patch?

I have lua514-lnum-20090417.patch from Luaforge and Lua 5.1.4 right from lua.org and it fails:

     gcc -O2 -Wall -DLUA_USE_LINUX   -c -o ltable.o ltable.c
     ltable.c: In function ‘luaH_get’:
     ltable.c:588: error: case label not within a switch statement
     ltable.c:590: error: break statement not within loop or switch
     ltable.c:574: warning: unused variable ‘n’
     ltable.c: At top level:
     ltable.c:599: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
     ltable.c:599: warning: type defaults to ‘int’ in declaration of ‘n’
     ltable.c:599: error: ‘t’ undeclared here (not in a function)
     ltable.c:599: error: ‘key’ undeclared here (not in a function)
     ltable.c:599: warning: initialization makes integer from pointer without a cast
     ltable.c:599: error: initializer element is not constant
     ltable.c:600: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘do’
     ltable.c:604: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘while’
     ltable.c:605: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘return’
     ltable.c:606: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘}’ token

The closing brace should be within the #ifdef LUA_TINIT.  Its simple to fix, but it makes me wonder if there is something else lurking.

Here are the md5sums of the lnum patch and Lua if that helps:
