Hi,

There was a change today in gnulib, that requires a small change in
packages that use gnulib-tool --with-tests with --makefile-name.
GNU diffutils is one such package.

Currently, './bootstrap' fails like this:
...
autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing
gnulib-tests/gnulib.mk:47: error: AM_CFLAGS must be set with '=' before using '+='
gnulib-tests/Makefile.am:1:   'gnulib-tests/gnulib.mk' included from here
autoreconf: error: automake failed with exit status: 1
./bootstrap: autoreconf failed

The attached proposed patch fixes it.

Thanks, I installed that and am marking this bug report as done.

I used the opportunity to sync GNU diff with current Gnulib, causing a 
few minor changes to Gnulib.

I also installed the attached patch, to work around more the places 
where Gnulib drags in some multithreading and/or locale code that GNU 
diff (which is single-threaded and not that picky about locales) doesn't 
need. Not sure if these suggest any Gnulib changes.
