I disabled selinux before creating a few files with security context. patch-2.5.4-34.fc9.x86_64 failed with patch: **** Can't set security context on file gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/abi/mangle24.C : Operation not permitted when it tries to patch the file when it was created with security context. The previous patch works fine. Why can't patch create a new file without security context when selinux is disabled?

Hmm, the man page says that we're meant to get ENOTSUP in that situation, but instead we're getting EPERM. OK, will work around.
