Without the -M option the patches were hundreds of KB, with -M and only
2 lines of context they are still pretty large (as sent to the mailing
list):
  55K  0002-Move-lib_ppc-to-lib-ppc.patch
 7.2K  0003-Move-lib_arm-to-lib-arm.patch
 6.7K  0004-Move-lib_i386-to-lib-i386.patch
  16K  0005-Move-lib_m68k-to-lib-m68k.patch
  20K  0006-Move-remaining-lib_-ARCH-to-lib-ARCH.patch
  98K  0007-Move-lib_generic-to-lib-generic.patch
