tests mostly pass, except 4, and the log follows.
The problem is calling diff with -Z, and NetBSD diff doesn't have -Z.
POSIX doesn't either:

Looks like NetBSD has old gnu diff, but I'm guessing other platforms
will also have test failures.
I agree that it clearly is a problem that the tests now depend on GNU
diff. GNU diff is popular, but it is not a standard.
The Solaris version of diff provides the -b option:
-b
Ignores trailing blanks (spaces and tabs) and treats other
strings of blanks as equivalent.
which GNU diff supports, but describes differently:
-b, --ignore-space-change
ignore changes in the amount of white space
