Re: "make test" fails with current HEAD

So the trivial fix is to emit our own "Binary files FOO and BAR differ"

From my diff man page:

-- snip --
DIAGNOSTICS
       An  exit status of 0 means no differences were found, 1 means some 
       differences were found, and 2 means trouble.
-- snap --

The exit value 2 is ambiguous for at least one version of GNU diff.

Hth,
