This I cannot answer.

The diff file contains patches for multiple files; the format of the
diff file include the names of the files. It's an ASCII file, try
reading it! Normally, you do:

cd gdb_dir
patch -P0 < foo.diff

where gdb_dir is the top level directory of the gdb distribution, and
foo.diff is the diff file you are applying.
