>Comparing the resulting *.o files (even by stripping the 10 first >chars) failed (the objects have the same length, but differ far down >in the file, all of them). I ran into this quite a while ago. The .o files contain the names of the .s temporary files produced during compilation. I use "cmp -l", and generally find two or three bytes at the start of the file (the timestamp) and maybe three or four much later in the file (the filename) different, but the rest the same. -- Ken
