Most likely there is no problem.  Except that the COFF timestamp bytes you're
trying to avoid have generated a newline in one file.  

Do this:
tail -NN regclass.o > foo1   # NN should be the total lines in regclass.o - 3
tail -NN stageN/regclass.o > foo2
cmp foo1 foo2

Now if I could just get g++ going on 386/ix.
