Gate needs diff and patch to do that.  Make sure you have them
installed.  Normally, the configure script of GtkAda tries to detect the
presence of diff and patch; check the configure log to see what it
found.  If not, install diff and patch and re-run configure and the
installation procedure of GtkAda.
