Is that GNU Patch?  Because you didn't specifiy the patch file
using `-i', it's reading it from stdin.  Try either:

    patch -i egcs-1.1b-pgcc-1.1.diff

or

    patch < egcs-1.1b-pgcc-1.1.diff

Typing `exit' shouldn't have had any effect in itself, but the
Ctrl-C probably wasn't noticed until you hit Enter.
