> By default, the patch command does not delete empty files after the patches have been applied. Compilation breaks on empty java sources.  According to the man pages, as a workaround, the to be deleted could be compared to an empty file dated the Epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC) if it conforms to POSIX.  Or better yet, use the -E or --remove-empty-files option to be sure.
