The DEC OSF 1.2 assembler puts the name of the (temporary) assembly
file into the object file, probably in the data section (often near
the very end of the file). You could try using cmp -l to compare
object files to see how much they differ - if it's only the timestamp
at the beginning of the file and the temporary file, the output is
only 5-10 lines, but if it's a real difference it just goes on and
on... :-)
