I'm not sure, but I think that this subject was mentioned here
earlier. Comparing mips coff files requires more than just ignoring
their timestamps since the name of the temporary assembly code file
that the object file was produced file is also included in the file.
Is there a convenient way to strip this out to make comparisons?  Do
other people that bootstrap gcc on mips and decstation machines just
skip the object file compare step?
