patch crossgcc-gcc-2.7.2.2.patch : possible misfeature ?

[Mark Phillips]

Did you get the patch in binary ftp mode? It sounds like the line
termination may have been fudged - check the patch size against that on
the server.

Also, I've just noticed (saw someone else here mention it) that gnu have
released a later (2.5) version of patch.

Good Luck
Mark
