Thanks for the bug report. Although nvc 22.1 defines __GNUC__ to be 11 
which means it supports GNU C as of GCC 11, that's obviously untrue for 
__builtin_add_overflow. That's unfortunate. Perhaps you could report 
this as a bug to NVIDIA, as their compiler shouldn't claim to support 
GNU C features that it lacks. nvc can set __GNUC__ to be the version of 
GNU C that it actually does support.

To work around the bug I installed the attached into Gnulib and this 
should appear in the next diffutils release. In the meantime you can 
compile with gcc.
