You are correct.
Get the latest version of GNU patch from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/patch and
install it on your server.
Personally, I like to keep my namespaces separate for GNU tools on Solaris,
so that I always know which version of a program I'm running. You can do
this for most GNU utils with the following configuration parameter:
# ./configure --program-prefix=g
--Adam
