It looks like Daniel found the error.  I have created a new patch, and
just committed it.

Let me explain where it comes from.  I have added some code to sage,
which is in patch-src_bin_sage-spkg, which modified the configure files
to make them FreeBSD-10 friendly.  I took this code from bsd.port.mk.

But in sages version of mpir, there is a patch in
work/sage-6.0/build/pkgs/mpir/patches called configure.patch, which
after applying the changes to configure, no longer applies cleanly.

So what I did is this.  I untarred two copies of
work/sage-6.0/upstream/mpir-2.6.0.tar.bz2.  I renamed one directory to
src, and the other to b.

I patched b with configure.patch.  I then applied the script from
patch-src_bin_sage-spkg to both these directories.  I erased the *.orig
files in b.  I then did "diff -ur src b" to create a new copy of
configure.patch.  I then did "diff -u" between the old copy of
configure.patch and the new copy, putting it into
patch-build_pkgs_mpir_patches_configure.patch.  I touched up the first
two lines of the patch-build_pkgs_mpir_patches_configure.patch to get
the path names right, and put this into files.

This is what I meant to do previously, but obviously I made an error
somewhere in the process.
