The following should do it:
cd .. # Assuming you've previously cd'ed into the untared source
mv elinks-0.11.1 elinks-patched
# untar the tarball
diff -r elinks-0.11.1 elinks-patches

It looks like Witold has already taken care of these two.

We could probably handle it somehow when generating elinks.spec from
elinks.spec.in but is it really worth it?

Often the $prefix/share/locale/locale.alias file will already be there
and elinks.spec doesn't support setting prefix (it seems) so this should
be safe. Probably it can automatically be removed in the %install area.
Witold is the keeper of the elinks.spec file so it's up to him.
