[gentoo-embedded] Strange epatch failures

[Christopher Friedt]

Hi everyone,

I ran into this really strange epatch failure recently with an 
arm-softfloat-linux-gnu system. I originally cross-compiled/emerged the 
baselayout, libc, gcc, etc, and now I'm natively compiling / emerging 
other packages with qemu.

The strange thing, is that for generally any ebuild that uses epatch, 
the patch fails.

I tried applying the patch manually, and it seems like it's just 
attempting to apply the patch in the wrong working directory.

I'm using the 2007.0 embedded profile for arm.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Chris

Here's an example of the failed epatch output:
