Can you do a "ident" or "what" on your patch binary ? I wonder which
version of patch they took for Solaris7. Methinks they managed to take a
version w/o unified diff support... Larry Wall stopped maintaining patch a
least 8 years ago, Jim Kingdon, David J. MacKenzie and others took over it
and almost all 2.x versions of patch support unified diff.

-rw-r--r-- 1 roberto staff 132544 Aug 31 1997 patch-2.5.tar.gz
These two versions were generated by the GNU people.

* Configure: When checking for C preprocessor, look for 'abc.*xyz'
instead of 'abc.xyz', so ANSI C preprocessors work.
* Apply fix for -D from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Kevin Braunsdorf).
* Apply unidiff patches from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Wayne Davison).

More than 8 years ago ! Way to go Sun ! In a few years, you'll have 2.1
somewhere in Solaris 29 I guess.
