Just FYI:

Yesterday and today, I had the same problem when applying the
linux-next single patch (see attached ErrMsg text file).

I am using a slightly modified kernel-buildsystem from Debian Kernel
Team (so not building out of a GIT repository).

The GNU/patch I have installed from Debian/sid does not include
symlink-support for git-diff [1].
Jonathan gave me the pointer to install patch package from Debian/experimental.
After reading its Changelog [2] and Debian-bug #243309 [3] I installed
the recommended version.
Indeed, it fixes the issue.

Cristoph, can we have a backport of [1] to patch/sid?

Thanks Jonathan!
