To compare binary files that are of the same size, I often do something 
like this:

od -Ax -t x1 file1.bin > file1.txt
od -Ax -t x1 file2.bin > file2.txt

diff -u file1.txt file2.txt

Actually, I usually do not construct the file2.txt, but compare it 
on-the-fly:

od -Ax -t x1 file2.bin | diff -u file1.txt -

These should work on any Unix. In the past, I used a program called 
"hexdump" in some GNU/Linux distributions.
