The same as bash 5.0. The INSTALL file in the top level directory of the source tree is probably the closest to a "definitive list". These patches are extremely small and do not change the build procedure or the tools required. Perhaps whoever packages bash for your operating system (if you're on some form of BSD or Linux) has already done whatever work you're trying to do, in terms of identifying the tools and resources necessary to build bash on your operating system. If you're on a commercial Unix, you're typically on your own. The error messages you get during ./configure and during the build should be enough to point the way to anything you're missing, but will obviously not point out the things you've already got.
