There are at least 2 alternatives: Myers' diff and patience diff. However, the later does not seem to be suitable for assembly language files as it relies on line uniqueness. Would it be possible to provide some examples of files you need to compare? If not, then a slightly modified meld code that uses Myers' diff is available here: http://piastucki.bdl.pl/meld/meld_myers.tar.gz. Feel free to give it a try.
Cheers, Piotr
