	Yeah, that's a likely culprit.  

First of all, make sure you install GNU patch.

Second, I'm assuming garnome 0.24.2 (242 sighting!) uses recent GAR,
which has the following at about line 204 of gar.lib.mk:

PATCHDIR ?= $(WORKDIR)
PATCHDIRLEVEL ?= 1
PATCHDIRFUZZ ?= 2
GARPATCH = patch -d$(PATCHDIR) -p$(PATCHDIRLEVEL) -F$(PATCHDIRFUZZ)

	if this is so, then you can do:

make GARPATCH='/usr/bin/gpatch -d$(PATCHDIR) -p$(PATCHDIRLEVEL) -F$(PATCHDIRFUZZ)' install

and the patch rules will use the new patch utility.  Barring that,
just edit gar.lib.mk and swap in the location for GNU patch wherever
you have the system calling the raw "patch" executable.
