In an ideal world I would rebuild perl with newlib and the latest pethreads but it's not going to happen soon as there are a few issues with using newlib for lowlevel language implmentation or at least those like perl that do redirection of console IO.
It would be nice if it wasn't a 5 year old version too, but I can see these porting efforts being a horrendous undertaking.

the word 'contribution' before all the entries in the installer didn't give you a clue?
I agree patch should be present, but removing diff-utils as a fix seems a little odd
No, I just installed the lot as most people will do. gcc is as much a "contribution" to the SDK as patch, was my point. So what if gcc is a fundamental part, it's still not written "for the OS". Therefore the distinction of what's a contribution is arbitary. IMO.
Since diffutils generates diffs, which can then be applied with patch (or perhaps just read by a human for some reason or other).... yes, diffutils alone is kind of useless. IMO again.
Anyways, back to attempting to port libpurple.
