I'm not sure what you're asking here... If you mean where does the
resulting file end, then GNU as last line has:
$(LN_S) $(silc_top_srcdir)/lib/.libs/libsilcclient.a .libs/silcclient.a
i meant if "# EOF" was literally the last line. as in somebody added
it. based on your description, it seems gnu patch would leave that
line in the middle of the file. i'm referring to otto's "good luck"
comment.
