How can that be? I understand the > cross-compiler binary might eg. link with other libs, but shouldnt > the ARM/thumb cross-compiled target code be the same? This is normal. Hash table ordering can be different, and some optimizations (e.g. constant folding) can very depending on the capabilities of the host. Andrew.
