The way I've always used 'patch', that should be 'cat' and '|':

	cat ../avr-llvm/llvm/trunk/patches/*.diff | patch -p0

The "echo ... > patch -p0" may appear to succeed, but all it did was echo the pathnames of the patch files, and the text "-p0", into a new file in the current directory, called "patch".
The 'cat', on the other hand, outputs the contents of the files, and the '|' provides that content to the 'patch' command.
