Ok, I have finally figured out what is going on. The problem is the 
version of patch that is installed on the host. Support for Git style 
patches was added to patch in version 2.7, but on the host where I 
failed to build gtk+3, the installed version of patch is 2.6.1...

However, since this is the only patch in all of Poky and OpenEmbedded 
that uses the Git style format, I still think the correct thing to do is 
to apply my change. It does not change the contents of the patch, only 
the format.

I will send an updated change with an updated commit message to clarify 
what is going on.
