Oh my - that means gnulib-tool itself has a dependency on patch(1), but
only when there is a local gnulib diff.  I'll get that fixed upstream in
gnulib for inclusion post-0.9.8; but for now, the solution is for you to
'yum install patch'.

Yep - commit 059d746d dropped a local gnulib diff, which drops the need
for patch.
