Problem is identical to that described in #3433, but on Mac OS X instead of OpenBSD. My fix was to run brew install gpatch, after which opam update worked without issue. Perhaps you could update the Mac section of the install docs?

$ opam config report

opam uses internally gpatch only is the os is an {Open,Free}BSD. Does Mac OS X aliases patch to gpatch once installed ?

@rjbou yes, running brew install gpatch installs gpatch to /usr/local/bin/patch and which patch returns /usr/local/bin/patch

I would like to note that I just observed a similar issue under MacOS 10.15.7, where patch is gpatch 2.5.8, and the issue was resolved by upgrading to gpatch 2.7.6.

macOS is rapidly becoming the new Windows for shipping with tediously ancient versions of tools (similar recurrent pain in OCaml with GNU make on macOS). Thanks for the data point - I'm hoping that opam update in 2.2 will not involve patch files, but the patch pre-processor may need to be battle-tested on some even older versions of patch!
