What sort of output do you want from your compare? If you just want to know if the two files have identical contents, then the UNIX "cmp" command will tell you that. If you want to compare what would be "logical records" on z/OS, they you'll need to write a program to do it. If it were me, I write it in C or maybe Java. But what sort of output would be appropriate? Simply saying something like "record #5 differs". Or do you want something more complicated which would be more like the output from the UNIX "diff" command? In this latter case, I would probably have my program do some sort of "encoding" of the binary data into lines of "text" which diff could then compare.
