Normally, it would come in when the local diffutils are updated to the

Yeah, that's what I meant. I'd be willing to have a look at it myself
if I knew they were open to submissions!
I looked a bit more. 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:

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.
