Both software GNU packages were built with old GCC 4.2 – should I switch to GCC 14.2 and check/test again?
Whatever works for you. It sounds like your development environment is munged somehow.
Diffutils 3.12 should work just fine with old GCC. I just now checked it with gcc (GCC) 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath) on Solaris 10 sparc, and all tests pass except for ignore-case (which fails only because the Solaris 10 Unicode tables are so old they don't work with the characters in the test case).
