[PATCH] Don't use tail +NNN

The fink 0.8.0 distribution of textutils has the infamous problem of 
deprecating "tail -NNN" and "tail +NNN", and make compare has started 
failing for me since I installed Tiger.  The attached patch avoids this, 
using "tail -c +16" instead of "tail +16c".

Tested with "make compare" on a previously built tree.  Ok for gcc and src?
