It might not matter, but I suggest you use just "arm-elf" or 
"arm-unknown-elf" because I think the middle part is supposed to be the 
vendor of the system, such as in "sparc-sun-solaris2.5" or 
"i386-pc-mingw32".

Good question :). Basically you just need to change to the directory that 
contains collect2.c and type:

patch -b -i /foo/collect2.c.diff

(with the correct path to the .diff file of course). The "-b" will cause a 
backup of collect2.c to be made to collect2.c.orig. See "patch --help" for 
more info.
