Suggest to upgrade to 1.6.4.

I downloaded and tried to compile version 1.6.4
I obtained the following error:
../src/.libs/libm17n-gui.so: undefined reference to `OTF_iterate_gsub_feature'
../src/.libs/libm17n-gui.so: undefined reference to `OTF_drive_gpos_with_log'
../src/.libs/libm17n-gui.so: undefined reference to `OTF_drive_gsub_with_log'

../src/.libs/libm17n-gui.so: undefined reference to `OTF_put_data'

make[2]: *** [m17n-view] Error 1

so that seems really bad. So back to my orginal question, is handa-san commit really necessary?
it seems to make it almost impossible to compile GNU emacs 25 for Ubuntu version 10.04.
