I had the same problem.
<bogaart@serc.nl> gave me the right tip: the files all differ in the
COFF-timestamp (as written in the INSTALL file) and somewhere half way
down, where they contain the name of the intermediate file used by the
compiler when they were generated (funny - of course these names are
different). I checked my files: All other parts are identical.

Does anyone know why these file names are included into the o-files
and which part is doing that?

Perhaps this could be eliminated. At least there should be inserted
a hint in the INSTALL document like that for the COFF timestamp.
