Are we working from the same patch? It does not apply cleanly for me:

bash-3.2$ patch -p 0 < nec_sx_vector_ncx-361-patch 
patching file README-sx-ncx
patching file libsrc/ncx.m4
Hunk #5 succeeded at 1215 (offset 121 lines).
Hunk #7 succeeded at 1956 (offset 121 lines).
misordered hunks! output would be garbled

Hunk #13 succeeded at 2606 (offset 13 lines).
Hunk #14 succeeded at 2760 (offset 108 lines).
Hunk #15 succeeded at 2720 (offset 13 lines).
2 out of 15 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file libsrc/ncx.m4.rej

Yet the ncx.m4 file has not changed since March, 2008, so why would the patch 
work for you and not me?

Here's the contents of the rejects file:
