That message mentions using a libXpm source that's a decade or so out
of date (libXpm 3.4k) - the latest libXpm release is libXpm 3.5.8 from
last year:

Your patch got double-spaced by your mailer so won't work - you might
try sending as an attachment if you can't get your mailer to not break it.
(I haven't looked to see if it's correct or not, was just obvious it
 couldn't be used in that format.)

http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/SubmittingPatches covers
the preferred ways to send in patches to the mailing list.
