You could simply use your favorite text editor to make several files

That's not very good: it means that the patches aren't independent.

But I don't see why all of them need to be applied at once.  For
example, if I'm not rebuilding dbgcom.c, I don't need to patch it,
right?  And the same is true for _dosexterr: unless someone wants to
build and run the tests for the new fcntl, they don't need _dosexterr,
since only the test programs call it, right?
