At first I thought this must have been due to all the new GTK files,

This file is recognized by perl as being text, but by diff as being
binary. The patch builder failed to create a proper patch file if
ever such a file is modified.
I've uploaded a fixed patch file.
Here is the patch to my personal build script to compensate for this.
Stephen, I've checked in the fix to xemacs-builds.
