Yeah, I will do that. But in my understand, I will use diff gnu-low.c
../gnu-nat.c and something like this. But I don't know how to use git
do this.  Like git diff a.c b.c?

BTW, I got these patches by  git diff <early_commit>  > gdb.patch.
Then I edit the patch to two file. When I use git format-patch
<early_commit> I will get a patche for each commit after the
early_commit. What is the better way you generate patches?
