patch file

A little while back, I ran into a problem compiling buildroot on an older Ubuntu (9.xx I think), where patch was attempting to perform Perforce source control operations. We had to fix this by adding -g0 to the patch script. I think this may not be a problem on newer distributions, but perhaps it would be good to ensure that patch doesn't attempt such ops in the future by using the -g0.

The line that we fixed is in apply-patches.sh, but I noticed that there is also a patch command in grub.mk too. I have attached a patch for both.
