Hello, Steve ... and all the others.
Good morning!

Thank you for your assistance.
(Sorry for my brute force methods)

Another day, another luck:
Yes, I see, there seems to be something wrong during the initial patching.

I guess, I understood that. I always started without --nounpack.
Just when I want to re-run all.sh (after my tries to fix an error),
I added --nounpack to it to save time.

Maybe it would be a good idea to add some build-milestones to give
non-crosstoolers a hint in which part it fails to know, and if it's
possible to re-start with a --nounpack?

That's what I did... but now as you wrote...

Okay... I think there is something broken in my source/patch trees.
The patch got applied without any rejections... but they seem
to be at the wrong place... okay... let me see...

It's missing... now I know where it needs to be and now i can
check why it isn't there. :-)

YES, thank you a lot!
