I filed a bug report. URL: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=154121
In my experience, Tk issues tend to remain unaddressed for an unacceptably long time - so don't expect a quick resolution to the problem in response to your bug report.
Did you get anywhere with hv's suggestion of specifying -DNeedWidePrototypes=1 ?
There's Xlib stuff in at least 2 separate source directories, so which directory are you in when that reported error arises ? (If we could see a few lines from before-and-after the error it might help us to provide better guidance.)
Cheers,
Rob

I most humbly beg your pardons, Monks, for the delay in my reply. I did not think there would be more in this thread after I stated I had filed a bug report, so did not look here for several days. Then I had to get past the hopeless feeling I was out of my depth. Then I did this: in the Makefile in the pTk directory, I changed this line CCCDLFLAGS = -fPIC to this: CCCDLFLAGS = -fPIC -DNeedWidePrototypes=1. (I readily admit I do not know if this was correct perl Monk{hv}'s suggestion.) In the event, however, I got quite a ways further! I am now getting this error in compiling the tkCanvText.c file (with a few preceding lines for context):

If everybody hasn't lost patience with me and has further suggestions, I should be very appreciative.

In pTk/mTk/generic/tkCanvText.c, the declaration of "length" at line 1237 needs to be changed from:
int length;
to:
size_t length;
This change is already in place in the source of Tk-804.036 that I've been using.
I don't know why that's not the case with the source you are using.
