Please try again with the tarball that you can download from
https://gitlab.com/gnu-diffutils/ci-distcheck
(full URL: 
https://gitlab.com/gnu-diffutils/ci-distcheck/-/jobs/artifacts/main/raw/diffutils-snapshot.tar?job=check-optimized
 ).

If you cannot reproduce with that snapshot tarball, the cause
must be in the operations you did in that git repository after
'git clone'.

If you *can* reproduce with that snapshot tarball, then please
also state the distro that you are using. Because:

> Built for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

This can be very recent. This can also be 15 years old.

Recall that one of the purposes of a bug report is to allow us
to reproduce it. If all you say is "Built for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu",
there are hundreds of possible distros.
