Differences in the sources. You might try to make the changes manually, or someone who knows more about patch and stuff may be able to explain the differences.

Okay, I manually applied the changes now, and I'm back to the linker problems:

I remember seeing this problem before. You're nearly there :) The problem (IIRC) is solved either by having os-hacks.h (http://www.gnu-pascal.de/contrib/chief/win32/os-hacks.h) in your "/mingw/include" directory when configuring and building the compiler, or (more likely), in having libmingwex.a linked to your program. This however should be happening automatically (i.e., linking libmingwex.a).

What is the output of "gcc -print-file-name=libmingwex.a"?
