Re: [Mingw-users] Non-deterministic linking?

Was compiling the same benchmark using different optimizations, wanted to
be able to diff the executables in order to see which sets of options
generated identical code.  Producing asm code and diffing that would have
been one option, albeit more complicated to automate.  Ended up running
the tests on linux, which doesn't timestamp.
