I just added this comment to the bottom of your wiki page:

The above problem was caused because the patches to Pd core were not  
applied before compiling. You need to "cd packages && make patch_pd"  
before compiling to make sure all the required patches are included.

Also, it will take a lot of manual tweaking unless you use the same  
version of Pd-core as the Pd-extended build system (currently, its on  
0.39.2).
