Hello Paul,
Thanks again for your help. Thanks to your indications for bootstrap, I
made a very basic patch to 3.8 which I'm submitting to spack
https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/28451
I could as you suggest compile with gcc, but now that it runs smoothly I
prefer to stick to nvc for the whole chain.
Cheers,
Olivier Cessenat

Could you make sure it works for 3.8 ?
Backporting would be some work and I've got other things on my plate.
Can you compile with gcc instead? That would be easiest.
If you can't use gcc for some reason (what is it?), then you can try
building from git, like this:
git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/diffutils.git
cd diffutils
./bootstrap
./configure CC=nvc
make WERROR_CFLAGS= check
Ignore all the bogus warnings that nvc generates.
For this latter approach you will need developer tools; see
README-hacking and README-prereq.
