Yes, I reproduced a similar problem on Fedora, and tested that the patch works.

The patch has already been applied to the emacs-25 branch, so it shouldn't be 
applied there again. It should be applied to the master branch in the next merge 
from emacs-25; at that point you won't need to apply it yourself any more.

You can safely ignore these warnings.

These symbols ought to be defined in lwlib/lwlib-Xlw.o. On my platform:

> lwlib/liblw.a:lwlib-Xlw.o:0000000000000310 T xlw_update_one_widget

You might investigate why this isn't working for you. One possibility is that 
RANLIB isn't defined correctly on your platform; see lwlib/Makefile.
