OK! Tomorrow I'll try to test without coreutils the diffutils variations built with either GCC 4.2 (meaning the original Apple tool) or GCC 14.2, the recent MacPorts tool.

Besides, gdiff *does* fail when used in production on the command line to find differences in "Portfiles"… (see my eMail from 12:29 h local time)


Could I get a quite perfect test log as reference? An URL would suffice.
