Comment:

 The problem is that this port had its gcc-4.2.1-4.2.4-v2.patch patchfile
 stored in the distfiles directory of the Subversion repository (r136975).
 MacPorts base used to automatically look for distfiles and patchfiles
 there.

 We had long thought it a bad idea to store distfiles in the repository, so
 when we migrated to GitHub last year, we decided not to migrate those
 distfiles, and we [ticket:52626 removed the MacPorts base feature] that
 automatically looked for files there.

 But since we are keeping the Subversion repository online indefinitely in
 read-only mode, it's fine for this port to re-add that location to its
 `patch_sites`. I'll do that, and I'll copy the file to our mirrors.
