“xzdiff a.xz b.xz” always fails
Attempts to compare two compressed files result in no output and
exit status 2.
Instead of going to standard output, ‘diff’ output is being
captured in the xz_status variable along with the exit status from
the decompression commands. Later, when this variable is examined
for nonzero status codes, numerals from dates in the ‘diff’ output
make it appear as though decompression failed.
So let the ‘diff’ output leak to standard output with another file
descriptor. (This trick is used in all similar contexts elsewhere
in xzdiff and in the analogous context in gzip’s zdiff script.)

Build system fixes
Don't use libtool convenience libraries to avoid recently
discovered long-standing subtle but somewhat severe bugs
in libtool (at least 1.5.22 and 2.2.6 are affected). It
was found when porting XZ Utils to Windows
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2009-06/msg00070.html>
but the problem is significant also e.g. on GNU/Linux.
Unless --disable-shared is passed to configure, static
library built from a set of convenience libraries will
contain PIC objects. That is, while libtool builds non-PIC
objects too, only PIC objects will be used from the
convenience libraries. On 32-bit x86 (tested on mobile XP2400+),
using PIC instead of non-PIC makes the decompressor 10 % slower
with the default CFLAGS.
So while xz was linked against static liblzma by default,
it got the slower PIC objects unless --disable-shared was
used. I tend develop and benchmark with --disable-shared
due to faster build time, so I hadn't noticed the problem
in benchmarks earlier.
