Your patch applied fine, but when I tried to run make in the 
delegate8.7.7 directory, I got the following messages:

../lib/library.a(pam.o): In function `pam_auth1':
pam.o(.text+0x438): undefined reference to `pam_strerror'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [delegated] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/delegate8.7.7/src'
make[1]: *** [start0] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/delegate8.7.7/src'

mkmake: ERROR LOG is left at /usr/local/src/delegate8.7.7/src/mkmake.err
make: *** [all] Error 2

Unfortunately I do not know the C language, so I do not know how to fix 
this error, though I assume it has something to do with the "extern 
char" declaration?

Thank you again for your help.
