Dear Norbert,

this bugged me a few years ago when I needed to compare full filesystem 
backups (of my old Maemo). I hope to get back to my old patches but if 
you are interested (or anyone else), please see 
https://debbugs.gnu.org/db/19/19508.html (bug #19508, "[PATCH] diff: 
compare major, minor numbers of block/character special files")

Not sure if this was my only attempt. I believe I even got a response 
from a maintainer, only the patch set was not finished (or even good 
enough) so it was not accepted.

Regards,
Ondra Svoboda
