This was several months ago. But I got the tarball here:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/diffutils/diffutils-2.8.1.tar.gz

Then I did:
$ ./configure --prefix=/media/mmc3/opt/diffutils
$ make
$ sudo gainroot
# make install

Note: you need some packages, like gcc and make. You can choose whatever you
want for prefix, but it mustn't be a vfat file system (you just need to update
$PATH in your .profile). In my case, I repartitioned the internal card as I
explained here: http://www.vinc17.org/maemo/
