Homebrew changed behaviour in Homebrew/homebrew-core#174687

This is only an optimization (avoids the (probably) unnecessary patch --version), this doesn't change the general behaviour at all.
EDIT: actually nevermind, this changes the behaviour in case, neither patch or gpatch are available and GNU patch. In that case, it would default to use patch, but now it will use gpatch by default. Which means that if someone hasn't installed gpatch, previously it would show a warning and used patch anyway, but now it will show a warning and fail to execute gpatch.
