In our work in upgrading the utilities, we've encountered a fair number of rejects from the existing patches that have required manual merging, and at least some of those manual merges were non-trivial. We also had to add stat64 variants of the stat_secure system calls, with transparent redirection, in order to support the new fileutils package. Are you actually dealing with any of these kinds of issues in your patches?
