1) Add a symlink in GNU patch ebuild to symlink patch to gpatch
You mean the other way, right? gpatch -> patch , since we already have
patch, and need gpatch if the below is to work.
Or did you mean change the sys-devel/patch ebuild so the executable is
named gpatch instead of patch, then create a symlink patch -> gpatch as
suggested above.
2) Change references to patch in eclass/eutils.eclass to gpatch
This makes sense to me.
Here's another idea and I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner..
Instead of any system change to the patch ebuild.. Inside the
eutils.eclass do a quick check for gpatch and if it exists use that vs
patch. I'm trying to think of any circumstances where this would fail..
