That patch applies just fine here, both 2.5.8 and 2.5.8-r1.

In case it helps, my system is ~amd64

The emerge output is very sparse, I can't see the reason for the patch failing. Try unpacking and patching manually to get a descriptive error message.
Also, is your emerge --sync up to date?
Yes my sync is up to date, I'm not sure why I can no longer use `emerge --sync` more interested in getting the ltmain problem fixed first.

Would you be able to tell me how to do this patch & build manually please?
