Patching libffi fails in Solaris

This is what happens:

gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/rl/ghc/ghc/libffi'
rm -f -rf libffi-3.0.6 build
/usr/sfw/bin/gtar -zxf libffi-3.0.6.tar.gz
mv libffi-3.0.6 build
chmod +x ln
patch -p0 < libffi-dllize-3.0.6.patch
  Looks like a unified context diff.
Hunk #5 failed at line 344.
Hunk #6 failed at line 165.
Hunk #7 failed at line 33.
3 out of 7 hunks failed: saving rejects to build/include/ffi.h.in.rej
  The next patch looks like a unified context diff.
Hunk #2 failed at line 66.
Hunk #3 failed at line 26.
2 out of 3 hunks failed: saving rejects to build/include/ffi_common.h.rej
done
gmake[1]: *** [stamp.ffi.configure] Error 1

Using GNU patch instead of the Solaris version works.
