etc.

But only after I had modified cmp.c (diffutils) as follows:

int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
...

#if 0
       if (file_desc[f1] < 0 || fstat (file_desc[f1], stat_buf + f1) != 
0)
#else
       if (file_desc[f1] < 0 || f1 ? ( stat (file[1], stat_buf + f1) != 0 
)
                                   : ( stat (file[0], stat_buf + f1) != 0 
) ) // Henri: suspect fstat
#endif
         {
           if (file_desc[f1] < 0 && comparison_type == type_status)
             exit (EXIT_TROUBLE);
           else
             error (EXIT_TROUBLE, errno, "%s", file[f1]);
         }
     }

   /* If the files are links to the same inode and have the same file 
position,
      they are identical.  */

   if (0 < same_file (&stat_buf[0], &stat_buf[1])
       && same_file_attributes (&stat_buf[0], &stat_buf[1])
       && file_position (0) == file_position (1))
{ // Henri: diagnostics
#if 0
     printf("same_file = %d\n", same_file (&stat_buf[0], &stat_buf[1]) );
     printf("same_file_attributes = %d\n", same_file_attributes 
(&stat_buf[0], &stat_buf[1]) );
     printf("same file pos = %d\n", file_position (0) == file_position 
(1) );
#endif
     printf("file[0] = %s, file[1] = %s\n", file[0], file[1]);
     printf("file_desc[0] = %d, file_desc[1] = %d\n", file_desc[0], 
file_desc[1]);
     printf("bailing out: same file.\n");
     return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
