SunOS 4.1.1
compiled with gcc, I think, but I'm not sure.

What happened:

I was applying the patches to gcc-2.2.2 to bring it up to 2.3.1,

when


I got a whole boat-load of crud in the wrong directory.


What I did:


for me, I went to /optical/gnu

and did a simple patch < ~/src/gcc-2.2.2-2.3.1.diff

because gcc-2.2.2 was a dir right there.

Everything went well, I believe, until  it wanted to  create new files
under gcc-2.2.2/config.  I  do  *not* have  a  gcc-2.3.1 dir yet.  The
new files went into  . instead,  very  ugly. Interestingly,  for every
file that got created in .,  a bunch of  zero length .orig  files were
also created.

Prove it to yourselves. I *think* this is what  happened. It  seems to
work OK if I cd gcc-2.2.2 and do a patch -p1 < patchfile.

Am I off my rocker? did I do something wrong?
