Description David Naylor freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-02-23 19:00:00 UTC 
On a fresh checkout of the source code to FreeBSD 8.3 (under /home/freebsd/8.3/src), I get the following compilation error:

patch -s -b .orig -o context.c < /home/freebsd/8.3/src/gnu/usr.bin/diff/context.c.diff /home/freebsd/8.3/src/gnu/usr.bin/diff/../../../contrib/diff/src/context.c
  I can't seem to find a patch in there anywhere.
*** Error code 2

Fix: 

Remove the '-b .orig' parameter.
How-To-Repeat: Checkout 8.3 source code and run the above command.
