The testsuite uses whatever diff tool is in its path. So you could just 
set PATH correctly before running the test suite.

test-repair-strip shouldn't rely on the cat error message. And the 
warning in test-gpg should probably just be ignored. Patches has been 
posted to -devel.

Just ignore these tests for now.  You can temporarily remove their x bit 
to avoid running them.

That will make the failure list shorter and make it easier to spot:

This kind of errors looks worse. Do you consistently get exactly the 
same errors?
