A good start is running objdump -x on each and comparing the output.  If
they seem identical there, try objdump -d.

It's normal for the stage3 .o file to include debugging info and the
stage2 .o file to not include it.  The comparison script will ignore
that.  So it's normal for the stage3 .o file to be significantly larger.
