Agreed, I see no "%" at all in my Makefile, not sure what automake is doing
on SuSe.

I haven't applied these particular patches but I managed to cope with the
issues they are trying to address. For example, the cfortran issue was
addressed from the top GNUmakefile with the CPPFLAGS, while the perl issue
was dealt with by not building the perl interface (which we do not need).
The 64-bit patch does not seem relevant as we are not installing to the
system tree. As much as I can I try not to patch the sources.

The only patch I made was this one, otherwise I am using plain vanilla
udunits v1.12.4:
