Yes. Here's what I hit with your original series
$ git am -3 k
Applying: maint: add our 'bootstrap_post_import_hook' function
Applying: build: refactor how lists of coreutils programs are defined
Applying: build: don't use recursive make to build the 'src' subdirectory
fatal: sha1 information is lacking or useless (cfg.mk).
Repository lacks necessary blobs to fall back on 3-way merge.
Cannot fall back to three-way merge.
Patch failed at 0003 build: don't use recursive make to build the 'src'

The copy of the patch that failed is found in:

When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --resolved".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".
