The error shows up because the 'perl_key' type is not defined.  It
means that you try to build 'pyperl' in MULTI_PERL mode with a
non-thread enabled perl.

You need to build your perl with the -Dusethreads option to
'Configure'.  The easy way is just to use ActivePerl.  Then you should
not need any patching either.
