Looking over my buildscripts, I noticed I don't use CPPFLAGS=-D_GNU_SOURCE in patch. Those build scripts have produced a working patch binary on PPC, so it may no longer be necessary. I'm not at my mac to double check that there weren't any edits done to a local copy of the script, but can any mac users out there try to build patch with out that envar?
When I get a chance to log into the mac, I'll run some tests. -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
