The BSD diff appears to have some incorrect pathnames compiled into it.

% which diff
/usr/bsd43/bin/diff

% diff -r /bsd43 /bsd43
/n/barney/pkg2/umips-v/mips53.4.0/bsd43/bin/diff: No such file or directory
/n/barney/pkg2/umips-v/mips53.4.0/bsd43/bin/diff: No such file or directory

% strings /usr/bsd43/bin/diff | head -5
Infinity
"wJ1N
/n/barney/pkg2/umips-v/mips53.4.0/bsd43/usr/lib/diffh
/n/barney/pkg2/umips-v/mips53.4.0/bsd43/bin/diff
/bsd43/bin/pr
