	   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 ....

Patch failures shouldn't happen (obviously), and should generally be fixed
before trying to use the patched sources [otherwise one is just asking for
trouble].

   [... patch session showing patch failures ...]

Which version of `patch' are you using?

I went to the trouble of grabbing a fresh copy of gcc-2.7.2.2,
a fresh copy of GNU patch 2.5, and obtained the following.

canuck:/canuck/spiff/crossgcc/tmp/gcc-2.7.2.2$ /tmp/junk/bin/patch --verbose <../../crossgcc-gcc-2.7.2.2.patch -p1 2>&1 | tee foo
Hmm...  Looks like a new-style context diff to me...
