[Buildroot] Issue Applying Patches to Package

Hello,

Appending "a/" and "b/" to the headers in the patch files did the trick!


I'm curious to know why my patch files did not include this. Checking my 
notes, I ran the diff command like:

     diff -u "old_file" "new_file" > file.patch

where "old_file" and "new_file" were in the same directory together. I 
ran the diff command from the same directory as these files, too.


Thank you all for your help. I appreciate it.
Dylan
