you can't use the 'tar' command or StuffIt to unpack the sources.

To patch the previos release "otp_src_R8B-1" you use a patch program
that understand the "unified" patch format and do

  % cd otp_src_R8B-X
  % gzip -dc /location/of/patch/file/otp_src_R8B-1to2.patch.gz | patch -p1

For installation instructions please read the README that is part of
the distribution.
