Previously, using -S/--skip, -f/--force, or -t/--batch to skip a patch in
a patchset still registers a failure which causes patch to return a
non-zero exit code. This is particularly undesirable with regards to
ports as there is no way to ignore the non-zero code. (Luckily, we don't
currently have any ports that make use of any of these options.)
The PR (yes, my own) is slightly incorrect: It states that -f does indeed
properly skip patches. It does, but it still sets the failure flag causing
patch to return non-zero.

1) (Biggest) I tried long-and-hard to keep the version number (5.006)
backwards compatible with FreeBSD; I have lost this battle, and
must defer to the Perl convention (5.6.0). Victims include suidperl.
this means that dirs with a name of 5.006 will be replaced with
dirs named 5.6.0 in both /usr/libdata/perl and /usr/local/lib/perl.
2) Errno module is added.
3) Alpha bits extensively tweeked after a Beast-build.

where it is used. c-decl has symbols that conflict with several of the
cc1plus sources.
GNU `ld' was changed in Dec 1999 to be more be compatable with the way that
other linkers work (specifically in the Solaris linker). The 2.9.1 `ld',
did the Wrong Thing in that if a library contained a common symbol that
matched a definition of that symbol in another (already linked in object)
it would also be linked in, even if there was no other reason to do so.
This is wrong. The library should only be linked in if it contains
non-common, non-weak symbols which are needed by previously linked in
objects.
Don't use MANDEPEND. It hasn't had anything to do with dependencies for
5-6 years, but is still being used, mainly in groff/*/Makefile, where it
amounts to just a macro giving the list of generated man pages. Since
all man pages in groff are generated (from .man to .[1-9]), it's simpler
to use the source names ({$MANX}) to give the list.
Fixed some other style bugs.
branch. Although this problem has been reported to the GNU folks,
it's unlikely that any solution they may come up with will involve
the use of mktemp(1).
