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.
