problem patching gcc-2.7.2.1 /.2 [ contains longish log ]

[Michael Meeks]

Hi,

	I am struggling with rather unexpected problems involved in
compiling GCC as a cross compiler :-(, and I was wondering whether they
are related to the odd messages I get when I patch gcc ....

Hmm...  Looks like a context diff to me...

	A fair number appear to fail :-( is this due to an old version of
patch, or is it supposed to happen ?, I have tried several times with
clean, unpatched versions of gcc straight from sunsite, both 2.7.2.1 and
2.7.2.2

	Many thanks in advance for any help you can offer,,
