I use the version from ports; gdiff 2.8.1 seems to be in there since
somewhere around last October. The downside is that you have to
specify --with-gnu-diff=gdiff to tla's configure.

I tried to write the config-time checking that Tom suggested, but it
ended in creepy things (like echo `eval $FOO` - ugh). I believe that
it's not easy without rewriting bigger parts of package-framework, but
I couldn't bring myself to do that. (-:

That will work.

http://boinkor.net/arch/diff-bug.tgz
in diff-bug/, this should be a sufficient test for the bug:
$DIFF -u BUG BUG2 | grep '^\\ No newline at end of file' >/dev/null
I haven't done a tla test case for this, though.
Have fun,
