Yes. You can get the emacs-26 branch sources by doing

    git clone -b emacs-26 https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs.git

then

    sudo apt-get build-dep emacs
    cd emacs
    git apply menus.patch #assuming you put my patch in menus.patch
    ./autogen.sh
    ./configure
    make
    src/emacs -Q

and then let us know how it goes.

Regards

Robert
