I moaned at Tim until he caved in and added an '-s' option couple of weeks ago. It should be in a fresh rawhide srpm.
Mind, you can do what you want even now, with -n (for line numbers) and a little bit of sh or perl, but all concievable solutions require several passes over the diff, which gets tiresome if you diff 2.4.9 (RH 7.2) and 2.4.18 (RH 8.0). The -s option does it in one pass.
