gcc: gl/lib/strnlen.o: No such file or directory
make: *** [src/patch] Error 1

workaround: copied the file from gnulib

or by using latest ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/patch/patch-2.6.1.85-423d.tar.gz.

With ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/patch/patch-2.6.1.85-423d.tar.gz:

getdate.y: In function 'get_date':
getdate.y:1532:5: warning: implicit declaration of function 'unsetenv'

/home/jayk/src/patch-2.6.1.85-423d/lib/setenv.c: In function 'rpl_setenv':
/home/jayk/src/patch-2.6.1.85-423d/lib/setenv.c:362:3: warning: implicit 
declaration of function 'setenv'

setenv and unsetenv are in /usr/include/stdlib.h but under #ifdef _BSD.
I haven't looked into what all changes when you #define _BSD though,
and unsetenv returns void instead of int.

/home/jayk/src/patch-2.6.1.85-423d/lib/error.c: In function 
'print_errno_message':
/home/jayk/src/patch-2.6.1.85-423d/lib/error.c:142:3: warning: implicit 
declaration of function 'strerror_r'

It is under if defined(_REENTRANT) || defined(_THREAD_SAFE)
and I've generally seen #define _REENTRANT is good or ok across a bunch of 
systems.

So I did:
CFLAGS='-D_REENTRANT -O1' /home/jayk/src/patch-2.6.1.85-423d/configure 
-prefix=$HOME

With ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/patch/patch-2.6.1.tar.gz, make check failed all 
tests.

ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/patch/patch-2.6.1.85-423d.tar.gz fails only two:

FAIL: crlf-handling
XFAIL: dash-o-append
FAIL: merge
