We currently have a fairly old version of diffutils, 2.8.7. It's unlikely that newer versions will be imported because they are GPL: https://wiki.freebsd.org/GPLinBase Instead, there is a project to import the OpenBSD versions: https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCode2012/JesseHagewood Current status is not clear. Given that, I don't see why we can't make interim changes to the GNU versions present now. (And I'm sorry I didn't look at that earlier.) I'll take this and commit it to -CURRENT, with an MFC planned to 10-STABLE and 9-STABLE.
