Hi, @zenbones, you need to install the patch utility so that pip can apply patches to add compatibility fixes. It says that in the output:

WARNING: GraalPy needs the 'patch' utility to apply compatibility patches. Please install it using your system's package manager.

Sorry that it's not more visible, in the next release it should be printed in color. Maybe we should make it hard error instead.
