emerge --info && build.log for libxml2

I am upgrading from a 9.1 profile to 10.3 (following the guide https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_FreeBSD/Upgrade_Guide ) and I was stuck with problems patching libxml2. It complained that -g was not a patch flag.

After emerging newer versions of patch, I discovered that the binary patch was still in version 2.1, because the emerged version was named gpatch. 

I made a temporary fix changing the name of FreeBSD's patch to fpatch and linking patch to gpatch, but that probably will break something else in the future. 

It would be very nice to have some newer stage 3 tar balls updated to 10.3.
