Hi, all!
On sparc-sun-solaris2.7, with gpc-20011123 / gcc-2.95.3 I've had the problem that patching failed (in line 447 of diff file).
The problem proved to be the following: I've had
/usr/bin{/patch} in path
before
/usr/local/bin{/patch} ;
and it appears that Sun's original patch utility doesn't understand GPC's .diff format.
I can't tell for sure, but it seems to me that this problem didn't occur with gpc-20010924 / gcc-2.95.2 ??? (Or I would remember it I guess).
After linking /usr/local/bin/patch to ~/bin (which *was* in path before /usr/bin) everything went fine - but for a moment I was really confused.

Yes, I'd accidentally made a unidiff (which only GNU patch seems to understand). I will fix this with the next uploade.
