Patches were posted a day or so ago to fix this --- by yours truly.  You can either use
them or just do a:

	make CC=stage1/gcc CFLAGS="-O -Bstage1/"

A reasonable work-around.

Use the "ecoff-cmp" script to compare the files.  This should give you more
accurate results.  The assembler has the nasty habit of burying timestamps and
temp-file names in the .o.  The ecoff-cmp script skips those and compares only
the parts that matter.

Good luck.
