I don't know why there is a difference, but you could try building using
both these commands except for the "-s", then use:

nm hello.exe | cut -c12- > hello1.txt

You could do this for each command, and compare the output files with
"diff -u". I haven't tried it because I don't have STLport, but it might be
interesting to see.
