In mm/mm.h send, receive and sendrec are redefined to _send, _receive
 and _sendrec, but the library sources have not (yet) been updated.
 You will have to update src/lib/ibm/<sendrec, catchsig, setjmp> :
 add an underscore to send, receive, sendrec, setjmp, begsig, and maybe
 others, regenerate libc.a (save the old one!) and make mm, fs and
 kernel.

The script worked fine for me.

You're welcome.
I have one question myself: mknod4 is an unsolved reference when making
some commands (e.g. format, mknod, tar). When browsing some header files
(I think unistd.h) I saw a definition for either mknod or mknod4,
depending on whether _MINIX was defined. So I copied mknod.c to
mknod4.c, changed its mknod identifier to mknod4, recompiled and
regenerated libc.a. Then I could make the above mentioned commands. Was
what I did OK?
