FreeBSD dragonbsd 10.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE #0 d44ce30(releng/10.0): Sun Feb  9 20:11:55 SAST 2014     root at dragon.dg:/tmp/home/freebsd/10.0/src/sys/MODULAR  amd64
>Description:
On a fresh checkout of the source code to FreeBSD 8.3 (under /home/freebsd/8.3/src), I get the following compilation error:

patch -s -b .orig -o context.c < /home/freebsd/8.3/src/gnu/usr.bin/diff/context.c.diff /home/freebsd/8.3/src/gnu/usr.bin/diff/../../../contrib/diff/src/context.c
  I can't seem to find a patch in there anywhere.
*** Error code 2
>How-To-Repeat:
Checkout 8.3 source code and run the above command.  
>Fix:
Remove the '-b .orig' parameter.
