I couldn't find any help on this in any docs, FAQs or archives, so...

I'm trying to recompile GNAT 3.09 on a i586-unknown-linux system, with
libc-5.4.23 and binutils-2.7.0.9 .  When I try to apply the gcc-272.diff
and linux.diff patches (on gcc-2.7.2.1, as prescribed), both patches fail:
the gcc-272 patch is an inexact fit, and the linux patch just fails.

Needless to say, the compilation then goes wrong.

I figure I'm either using the wrong patches, the wrong switches or the
wrong patch executable - anybody encounter that problem?

(...Alternatively, can somebody e-mail me the patched files?)
