I am trying to reproduce a build of an old project on ubuntu 7.04. I have the last build from a few years ago available to compare to. After configuring the ubuntu 7.04 and installing build-essential package (for build tools, version 11.3), I get most of the object files identical to the old build object files. However, some files are different. I am trying to find out what are the differences and what to do in order to reproduce the old build identically. Using nm command on differing object files and comparing the output, I see that the symbols differ (with diff command): < 000001e0 r __PRETTY_FUNCTION__.9011 < 00000220 r __PRETTY_FUNCTION__.9242 --- > 000001e0 r __PRETTY_FUNCTION__.8981 > 00000220 r __PRETTY_FUNCTION__.9212 or < 00000000 r __FUNCTION__.8375 --- > 00000000 r __FUNCTION__.8345 Similarly comparing the output of the readelf --debug-dump gives a small list like: < DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x6d): unsigned int --- > DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x75): unsigned int ... If anyone knows how to interpret these differences (or give me a hint on what tool/command to use to obtain the differences) and how to map it to the changes in the build environment (gcc, libraries, header files versions, etc.) I would greatly appreciate it.
