Using the 'patch' command!!
Change directory into the directory where you unpacked the gcc source
code. This should be the directory where gcc-2.95.2 is a subdirectory,
you don't want to actually be *in* that directory. Make sure you have
a copy of the patchfile in that directory and type
patch -p0 < glibc-2.2.patch
(For further info about the patch command, try 'patch --help' or 'man
patch' or 'info patch')
