If the patched file is something like a C source file, then converting
the line endings of the source files in %prep seems like the right
thing to do here.
For example in nekovm.spec:
BuildRequires: dos2unix
# ...
%prep
%setup -q -n neko-%{version}
for f in CHANGES LICENSE `find -name '*.[ch]' -o -name 'install.neko'`; do
dos2unix --keepdate $f
chmod -x $f
done
%patch0 -p1
%patch1 -p1
%patch2 -p1
# etc
