Many of the problems arise from dynamic linking 28*75f6d617Schristosissues on non-GNU platforms (e.g. with the iconv library). Such 29*75f6d617Schristosproblems tend to be shared by other GNU applications on these 30*75f6d617Schristosplatforms, and can usually be fixed by carefully tweaking your non-GNU 31*75f6d617Schristosinstallation. If you have an older version of libiconv, please 32*75f6d617Schristosupgrade to the latest one, preferably libiconv-1.8 or newer. 33*75f6d617Schristos(libiconv-1.8 is not yet available as of this writing, but it should 34*75f6d617Schristosbe out soon.) If the problem seems isolated to diffutils, though, 35*75f6d617Schristosplease report a bug. 36*75f6d617Schristos 37*75f6d617SchristosThis program requires a Standard C compiler (C89 or later); if you 38*75f6d617Schristoshave an older K&R compiler, please install GCC first. 39*75f6d617Schristos 40*75f6d617SchristosIf you make changes to the source code, you may need recent test 41*75f6d617Schristosversions of GNU build tools to regenerate the intermediate files.
