Comment (by alexcrichton):

 In terms of diffing you may have better mileage diffing the `*.bc.z`
 files. While there's no standalone tool to extract those, the [format is
 documented](https://github.com/rust-
 lang/rust/blob/87cbf0a547aaf9e8a7fc708851ecf4bc2adab5fd/src/librustc_codegen_llvm/back/bytecode.rs#L1-L23)
 and you may be able to write a small manually program using `flate2` to
 extract the `*.bc` file which you can then feed through `llvm-dis`. That
 textual representation may be a bit more diffable? (no offsets and
 whatnot).

 Barring that though I suspect more progress will need to be made with
 further reductions.
