There isn't one.

Configuring for a i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1 host.
./configure: /home/sb/src/install/egcs-1.1.1/config.if: No such file or directory

Since I'm missing some files, there's probably a command line argument 
to patch that will tell it to create files, lesse... (M-x man patch RET)
no there wasn't... arrrrgh!  Lots of files are created on the
directory above the egcs-1.1.1 directory... @$&@!!  When I saw
"succeed" in the patch messages flickering over the screen I assumed
that the directory information in the patch was correct.

Hmph... moving down into the egcs-1.1.1 directory to apply the patch
applied the missing patches (the ones containing the missing files?),
but seems to croak on something else:
Patching file Makefile.in using Plan A...
Hunk #1 failed at 344.
Hunk #2 failed at 801.
Hunk #3 failed at 823.
Hunk #4 failed at 2189.
Hunk #5 failed at 2338.
Hunk #6 failed at 2819.
Hunk #7 failed at 2844.
Hunk #8 failed at 2869.
Hunk #9 failed at 2894.
Hunk #10 succeeded at 2978 with fuzz 2 (offset -1 lines).
patch: **** misordered hunks! output would be garbled

If I moved up one level to apply the patch, I got asked about some
presumably reversed patches and if they should be applied (to which I
said no to everything) and got a log slightly larger than the first
time I did this.

Hm... I could try some -p magic, but the diffs in this patch seems to
have different directory levels... I'll live with the two applications 
of the patch for now, I think... at least it configured this time.

I'm starting to get pretty tired of unpacking and patching by now.
