   Every time I build 4.7-RELEASE the three files
/usr/obj/usr/src/gnu/lib/libobjc/NXConstStr.o
/usr/obj/usr/src/gnu/lib/libobjc/Object.o
/usr/obj/usr/src/gnu/lib/libobjc/Protocol.o
(which along with lots of other files are packed into libobjc.a) end up 
varying wildly.
   Every other variability in the build results I can track down -- the 
fortune files are randomized (bin/45817), games/phantasia/void is 
randomized (and no longer exists in -CURRENT), and everything else is 
identifiable user, host, date, or time stamps -- but those three files have 
significant binary portions which vary.
   Incidentally, the sizes of those files don't vary.

   Can anyone help me understand what is going on here?

Colin Percival
