I don't think there is much you can do about this (although I'd love
to find out I'm wrong), but you could do something like this instead:

PATCHFILES = $(sort $(subst files/,,$(shell ls files/*patch)))

That will include all patch files for you, but relies on your naming
convention for proper ordering (which may or may not be important to
applying them).

HTH.
