Wild guess : didn't you try to re-apply the patch after cvsup-ing ? I remember
getting hit by that before, because instead of re-creating the files, patch will
happen the diffs to the existing files, effectively duplicating it.
There may be a patch option to tell it not to create files that already exists,
but I don't know it. When I have to re-apply the patches I usually remove
src/gnu, src/contrib/gcc and src/contrib/binutils.

contrib/ contains the bits from FSF almost verbatim.
gnu/ contains our build bits.
