One patch file for the entire source tree of each package would be even
better, but anyway...

The manpage of gcc is severely out of date. The GNU folks prefer
Texinfo for their documentation since a long time ago. Just ignore the
manpage of gcc(1). IMHO, it provides absolutely no useful information
anymore :-(

My "patch" is incorrect. Use Dan's changes :-)

Using patch(1). The diffs you have posted refer to a single file each.
The correct method to use these diffs would be:
1. Extract the package tarballs, as downloaded from sourceforge.
2. Change into the directory that contains the file you'll patch
(see the first lines of the patch for the filename).
3. Run patch(1) on the patchfile (the patchfile doesn't need to be in
the current directory).
An example could be:
# cd /tmp/nngs/directory/of/file/
# patch -p0 < /tmp/dan_nelson.diff

I honestly hope it is *NOT*. It's so awfully written, my eyes hurt
*AND* it is unmaintained at SourceForge since late 2002.
