 I think you are mistaken John. Further up the script is

 {{{
 cd src
 }}}

 so another {{{src}}} would be an error.

 I do sometimes think it is better to perhaps consider deleting all
 patches. I have just updated 'GSL' (#9533). GSL is a much simpler package
 I admit. I removed all patches. The new GSL package has built and passed
 all self-tests on Cygwin, Linux, HP-UX, !OpenSolaris, OS X and Solaris.
 (Sage does not build fully on HP-UX, but enough of it builds to prove that
 GSL passes all tests).

 I hope at some point you are going to test on 't2'. I simply do not have
 the time to test everyones updates on 't2'.
