OOOPS!

Do you see my red head? Your answers gave me the decisive tip:
The sources, I've used, were not from the gnu page, but
from Linux sources, version file-3.22. Sorry, sorry, sorry!

The file-3.26, mentioned by Leif, is the newest version of it.
I have download and compiled it. The patchfile is attached.
My mail to you, Todd, were too fast written. Compiling the
3.26 shows another problem, the missing "#include <errno.h>"
in three files.

Correct! The patchfile contains the patch for both versions (b19 and
b20).
