It embeds a timestamp in all object files; the bootstrap compare is a simple file-compare and so it'll differ even for the same assembly file compiled two different times. In any case, the target-specific install notes: http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#hppa*-hp-hpux* say you must use GNU as 2.11 or better. > *** This configuration is not supported in the following > subdirectories: > ld > (Any other directories should still work fine.) That's fine - it's the assembler that's important. The system linker's perfectly good, and you can mix GNU assembler with the system linker. On other platforms, e.g. Solaris, the GNU linker handles C++ common sections better than the system linker so it may better to use the GNU linker if you can if you're compiling C++ with GCC. As you say, GNU ld didn't build on HPUX last time I tried but the GCC target-specific notes hint that it is possible. Perhaps there's something in the binutils docs? Good luck, Rup.
