 I tried proposed patch and ran into this:
 
 checking whether /var/tmp/pkgobj/misc/openoffice2/work/.tools/bin/patch is GNU 
patch... Patch version 2.1
 configure: error: no, GNU patch needed. install or specify with 
--with-gnu-patch=/path/to/it
 *** Error code 1
 
 Stop.
 
 I tried to skip it adding "CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --with-gnu-path=/usr/pkg/bin/gpath"
 to Makefile, but the build stopped with another complaint:
 
 .. configure: error: no, GNU cp needed. install or specify with 
--with-gnu-cp=/path/to/it
 
 
 This is rather frequent type of errors I encounter on FreeBSD, 
 when GNU tools are required instead of native ones. I'd be grateful,
 if someone with more knowledge explained, what the matter is, and 
 how to deal with it in general case so as to save my and yours time
 in future.
