Please refer to Makefile::rebuild and the head of the gdb-10.2.patch. So I think that, to make a change to the gdb sources, 1. we have to "add" patches to the end of the gdb patch, and 2. if there are multiple patches for a gdb file, the "patch -N" doesn't work, so we have to revert the gdb file to the original one. (I will add this custom to crash guidelines later..) In your patches, there are multiple patches for gdb-10.2/gdb/Makefile.in so I would suggest that: 1. pack the 1/4, 3/4 and 4/4 patches into a patch, do the three things together. 2. add a hunk for the gdb-10.2/gdb/Makefile.in to the end of the gdb-10.2.patch. 3. add the following change to the head the gdb-10.2.patch. --- a/gdb-10.2.patch +++ b/gdb-10.2.patch @@ -8,6 +8,11 @@ # shell script that can restore any gdb file to its original state prior # to all subsequent patch applications. +tar xvzmf gdb-10.2.tar.gz \ + gdb-10.2/gdb/Makefile.in + +exit 0 + (yeah, we forgot the "exit 0" here when moving to gdb-10.2..)
