Cannot build rsync 3.1.0 on MacOSX 10.8.5 with fileflags patch

Returning to this list after a long hiatus: rsync 3 has been working very well for me for many years, as a supplementary backup tool for MacOSX.
However, attempting to build the new 3.1.0 release on a brand new Mountain Lion box with my standard 'fileflags' and 'crimes' patches applied, make fails, reporting that 'force_change' is undeclared.
In fact, the problem occurs just with the 'fileflags' patch alone:
patch -p1 <patches/fileflags.diff
./configure
make
This generates the error:
gcc -I. -I. -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Wall -W -I./popt -I./zlib -c main.c -o main.o
main.c:846:6: error: use of undeclared identifier 'force_change'
if (force_change & SYS_IMMUTABLE) {
^
1 error generated.
make: *** [main.o] Error 1
Building without the fileflags patch is successful.
Has anyone else noticed this behaviour?
Regards,
Tony Morton
