Description:
Makefile goal do_abi_check passes -w parameter to diff (ignore whitespace). -w is not available for diff under QNX 6.2.1.

Passing -b instead does not fix the problem since there are a couple of places where whitespace differences are in the line itself, not trailing/leading.

How to repeat:
On QNX 6.2.1, unpack tarball, run ./configure, then make

Suggested fix:
Clean out whitespace in compared file using sed statement that goes immediately before the call to diff.
