This is a CVS problem, not an EGCS one.

My guess is that when you built CVS, you installed it to find a versino
of patch that isn't robust enough to handle what CVS tries to do with it.
Unfortunately, SCO ships an ancient version patch in /usr/bin/ and 
CVS's configure will find it first unles you adjust your $PATH to insure
this doesn't happen.

And while you're building and grabbing GNU stuff, go ahead and get
GNU diff, too.   Oh, and be sure that CVS finds *it* and not the stuff
in /bin/.
