Could you rebase on current ‘core-packages-team’, where diffutils is at
3.11?

Can you confirm that it builds for you, at least on x86_64?

Could you explain a bit more?  Does ./configure fail to determine that
‘strcasecmp’ works when cross-compiling?

Besides, please adjust indentation here and use two semicolons for a
line comment, with a capitalized sentence.

Thanks for working on it!
