patch-2.7.6.200-be8b build feedback

[Nelson H. F. Beebe]

I have now done builds of patch-2.7.6.200-be8b on 89 systems, of which
71 passed all tests.

The CentOS 7 (x86) and Solaris 10 (x86 and SPARC) systems need the
--disable-year2038 option; builds then succeeded, but two tests
failed:

        XFAIL: context-format
        XFAIL: dash-o-append

Those same two failures happened on Alpine 3.15 (x86_64), Fedora 37
(S/390x), FreeBSD 12.4 (AMD64), OpenIndiana Hipster (x86_64), openSUSE
Tumbleweed (x86_64), and Void Linux (x86, Musl C library).

Here are the log files from the Void Linux system:

Just in case lower-level tools are involved, on that system, I have
coreutils-8.32, diff-3.7, and sed-4.8.
