PTXdist does support the -rmk patches, you might try it out. Although I must say I'm not happy with the way we handle this kind of "feature patches" now. For "bugfix patches" we use the same method as crosstools, but for feature patches there is too much magic in the makefiles at the moment...
I'm now supporting them in the following trivial way: if you want to use them, you can, by copying them into the right subdirectory of crosstool-0.27/patches.
ptxdist has the concept of a local patches directory already; why not just have the user unpack the patches he wants into that directory? I guess the reason is that ptxdist likes to download its patches at build time.
(That's one thing I like better about crosstool than ptxdist: crosstool comes with the patch repository bundled in. IMHO this is a good idea because it makes the build less dependent on having a network connection, and it makes the build more reproducible -- you aren't at the mercy of the patch repository operator to quite the same degree.) - Dan
