I (finally) got it running! It took some fiddling with Mullvad VPN (for some reason it keeps blocking internet every time I create a new installation) and installing curl, autoconf, pkg-config, libtool, libc6-dev, build-essential and libboost-all-dev (thanks to other people with the same errors for recommending all those packages).~

The result is a running bitcoind on testnet4. But there's no bitcoin-qt, which I kinda expected to be part of the default Bitcoin Core source compilation.
The total blocks directory is only 297 MB. This must be how Bitcoin felt in the early days.
I'm glad you got it working
In case anybody else is having problems: i did make a container running the patched version and i published the Dockerfile... If you run opensuse leap 15.6, you *should* (theoretically) be able to use the Dockerfile as a cookbook...
- ignore the lines starting with #
- if a line starts with COPY, make sure the attached file is copied to the working directory
- if a line starts with RUN, remove the word RUN and execute the rest of the line
- if a line starts with WORKDIR, chdir to the workdir specified
- if a line starts with ENV, set the enviromental variable (either in ~/.bash_rc, ~/.profile,... or in your session by executing "export variable=value"
- if a line starts with ENTRYPOINT or CMD, it's basically the command to start the app
- if a line starts with EXPOSE, it'll usually list the ports your app is listening on (and you can ignore this if you use the Dockerfile as a cookbook)
