That's usually a hint that the path component count in the --- and +++
lines don't match the -p parameter, and the auto-filename derivation
magic in patch didn't succeed. Find out what parameter is configured for
patch (IIRC, "make -V PATCH_STRIP" should do that -- not on a BSD
machine ATM) and adjust the patch accordingly. The file names in the
patch are expected to be relative to ${WRKSRC}.
