No I'm actually comparing library files. Someone had mentioned I should be comparing .o files first, which I did, but they remain the same each time. It's only the build contents I listed and the binary that change. ~Caleb On 06 Dec 2006 15:07:18 -0800, Ian Lance Taylor <iant@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

Wait: are you comparing .o or .a files? .a files will always have lots of differences, because the .a file includes a timestamp. You should be able to compare the .o files reliably. Ian
