How can I make the compiler invocations visible? If I could see what the compiler is doing I could persuade it to just pre-compile the source file to see what is actually complaining about.

it’s a common Tiger error… the register names are slightly different in the 10.4 sdk.

I’ll fix it a bit later on for you.

diffutils: use older register names on Tiger

the register names in the 10.4 SDK were changed in the 10.5+ SDK
