This particular bug doesn't affect OpenBSD, but patch(1) there
isn't all that GNU-alike, either. I spent a few hours last week
trying to make the test suite pass on OpenBSD, and I just don't
think it's possible with the system's patch binary.

As has been said on IRC a few times, the real solution is to use
mpatch. I started to poke at that last week, too, but experienced
some oddities that I'm still trying to figure out.
