Use the "patch" command. You will want something along the line of
patch -p1 < /where/ever/something.patch

(The number after the p will depend on where in the directory structure
you are, and how the patch looks)

Oh, and look out for the new readdir patch I just posted that is more
complete than the previous one. There is also a newer version of the
SIGCHLD patch (which actually does more than just SIGCHLD). I just
realised I forgot the patch when I posted that one, so it was also
posted to the list just a minute ago.

The page was probably updated before the file went into the archive. You
can find it at
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2004-02/msg00088.php

>ps. So supposedly all 3 patched should be applied before "make", right?
Yup. If you have already done "make", do a "make clean" before you do a
new make.
