RE: BUG: tests/scripts/defines.sh has bad DIFF line

[Andrew Diederich <andrew@NETdelivery.com>]

I'll grab that from sunfreeware, then.  I know the GNU tools are almost
always better than the standard solaris ones, but it's a little hokey to
require this one.  

Hmm, what other gnu tools are required?  ld?  make?  I've been trying to use
the solaris tools whenever possible, but I may have to change strategy here.
I know when building postfix that Weitse Venema prefers the solaris tools
(minus gcc).

Try to build a GNU diff from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/diffutils/diffutils-2.8.1.tar.gz
and try again.
Or download a diffutils package from http://sunfreeware.com/.
