Ah... progress.  Don't compare library files.

So, your .o's compare the same each time?  Aside from the library  
files (which we'll
ignore for a moment), I'm not clear what does not compare the same.   
Also, if you do
the cmp -l, how many bytes differ (on each of the things you are  
comparing)?
