I don't see how that's possible. Most of those files are tiny, or change very rarely, so I don't see how that large a diff can happen. Take zlib/configure.ac and zlib/configure, there's only been one change in the past 18 months: https://gcc.gnu.org/r261739 That change didn't touch the other files in the list. libtool.m4 has one change in the past 2 years (just a few days ago): https://gcc.gnu.org/r262451 That was also tiny, and didn't touch the other files. maintainer-scripts/crontab only has one change in the past 6 months: https://gcc.gnu.org/r259637 That was a tiny change, and didn't touch any other files. None of those were merges from any other branch.
