Probably. But, as Mike told me privately, STABS are sensitive to the build
directory, so I tried again and got identical executables byte-for-byte:
sunshine% ls -l gcc.cc/gcc/cc1
-rwxrwxr-x 1 eric eric 46745912 Jun 25 03:30 gcc.cc/gcc/cc1
sunshine% ls -l gcc.gcc/gcc/cc1
-rwxrwxr-x 1 eric eric 46745912 Jun 25 07:00 gcc.gcc/gcc/cc1
sunshine% cmp gcc.cc/gcc/cc1 gcc.gcc/gcc/cc1
sunshine%
