"sum" command in coreutils-9.0 (e.g. Fedora 36) started to output a file name. As a result, "make" always detects a change of gdb-10.2.patch wrongly and re-applies it unnecessarily.

Use "cmp" command instead.

Yes, if we use md5sum (or sum), how about this? I would prefer: [ "`md5sum < ${GDB}.patch`" != "`md5sum < ${GDB}/${GDB}.patch`" ]; then \

Anyway, I will be back on Aug 22nd. No worries.
