Hmmm. I expect the __ctype_... stuff is the static data used by the <ctype.h>
"functions" (toupper, isascii etc). These can be implemented as macros, or
maybe as inline functions; I expect that's what's happening here, and that the
linker cannot find this data reference. I would have thought this should be in
the standard C library (libc.so). Pretty fundamental!

Did you make sure all object files and archives were removed from your nedit
tree (ie did you run "make clean")? Does the unpatched nedit source tree build
properly?
