This should now also work at least on Linux; see the the latest alpha version (patch-2.6.1.106-76d0.tar.gz). Right now, patch will fail if it can't preserve all extended attributes; I'm not sure if this is the expected behavior in all cases. User / distro feedback would be very welcome! Thanks, Andreas
