Hi Paul,

The CI reports a compilation error of GNU diffutils, caused by the
most recent commit 45a4762bf3241e7fb6a2e01d382791ae44236841 .

Error seen on CentOS 7 (with gcc):

../../src/sdiff.c: In function 'edit':
../../src/sdiff.c:884:8: error: a label can only be part of a statement and a declaration is not a statement
        int cmd1 = skip_white ();
        ^
