I never learned to use this, so I'm still on the old way underway – and think that this might make the difference:

	diffutils-3.10/src/context.c:#include "c-ctype.h"

vs.

	diffutils-3.12/src/context.c:#include <c-ctype.h>

None of my Macs has this C header file, it comes with some software.


Tomorrow in the morning I'll have a few hours to test this… Defective diffutils 3.11 also has <c-ctype.h>.
