Yes, sorry, recognized too late. The recommendations about the
"make patch" approach is fully correct. After a "make clean",
the soruce tree will be re-extracted and the existing patches
will be applied when "make" is run. So code changes should be
part of _that_ step. Local patches will not be subject to the
"make clean" step, if I remember correctly.
