That looks like pretty much everything differed. Are you using the
bundleded HP assembler or GNU binutils? The HP assembler embeds a
timestamp into the object files which will cause a comparison failure in
all object files.

Your CFLAGS setting doesn't have '-g' which may be a consequence of a
GCC configured for the HP assembler or it may be your own choice - I
can't tell. Otherwise, I can't see any hints of which assembler you
used.

In case you're not sure which one you're using, the HP assembler will
respond to '-V'

    hamster:~$ /usr/ccs/bin/as -V
    as: HP92453-03 UX.11.01.01 (ROSE) PA-RISC 2.0 Assembler
    as: error 1101: Standard input must be a pipe or fifo, not a tty
    or device file.

whereas the GNU one won't, but will respond to '--version':

    hamster:~$ as -V
    as: unrecognized option `-V'
    hamster:~$ as --version
    GNU assembler 2.11.93 20020129

    This assembler was configured for a target of
`hppa1.1-hp-hpux11.00'.

The GNU assembler is available in the binutils package if you'd like to
install it. Otherwise, if you are using the HP assembler, you can
probably just ignore the bootstrap warning and install the compiler
anyway; it may help to edit the top level makefile and change this line:

        cd gcc && $(MAKE) $(GCC_FLAGS_TO_PASS) $$compare

to:

        true

Hope that helps,
Rup.
