It's basically not compiling a few more files it needs to. You need to 
add the files under the "modules" directory (order.c, path.c, etc.) 
which have all the init_* functions. And also class.c, native.c AFAICT. 
As you can see on the copyright for the script it's been a while since 
Johan Nilsson sent me updates for it :-(
