  diff -w might be your friend.

  $ diff -wus <(printf "ab cd\n") <(printf " ab  cd \n")
  Les fichiers /dev/fd/63 et /dev/fd/62 sont identiques

But this one is wrong:

$ diff -wus <(printf "ab cd\n") <(printf " abcd \n")
Files /proc/self/fd/11 and /proc/self/fd/14 are identical

  Wrong, indeed. :/
