Dear Norbert,this bugged me a few years ago when I needed to compare full filesystem backups (of my old Maemo). I hope to get back to my old patches but if you are interested (or anyone else), please see https://debbugs.gnu.org/db/19/19508.html (bug #19508, "[PATCH] diff: compare major, minor numbers of block/character special files")
Not sure if this was my only attempt. I believe I even got a response from a maintainer, only the patch set was not finished (or even good enough) so it was not accepted.
