I've finally come up with a way to do the compares of the stage2 and
stage3 .o files; "strip" is the answer.  I still get some complaints
about differences from 2 files; cccp.o and gcc.o.  Here is the script
that I use:

for file in *.o
do
	echo ${file}
	strip ${file}
	tail +10 ${file} > /tmp/foo1
	strip stage2/${file}
	tail +10 stage2/${file} > /tmp/foo2
	cmp /tmp/foo1 /tmp/foo2
	rm -f /tmp/foo1 /tmp/foo2
done

Does anybody know if the complaints from cmp for cccp.o and gcc.o mean
that something is wrong or is this still more coff baloney?
