Re: Gnu cmp doesn't work with Alpha object files
Cmp is used to compare objects built during the Gcc bootstrap, and has to skip over the MHD since it contains a timestamp. It used to be the MHD was very predictably sized for Gcc bootstrap objects. That's no long the case, so this latent problem appeared.

Re: Gnu cmp doesn't work with Alpha object files
It shouldn't be so difficult to write such a tool: the Alpha object language is documented. But, you need it today, right?

Re: Gnu cmp doesn't work with Alpha object files
Checksum for alpha does seem useful in general though.

Re: Gnu cmp doesn't work with Alpha object files
New (2.8.7b) kits should be available at:
http://antinode.info/dec/sw/diffutils.html
Included are this "cmp" change, and a
somewhat sneaky scheme to re-jigger the
argument list for fwrite() in the generic
code, so that a difference line in redirected
output (PIPE, DEFINE SYS$OUTPUT) will
comprise one N-byte record instead of N
1-byte records. (Previously, redirected
"diff" output was approximately useless.)

Unless you use the home-grown redirection patch I sent you on 27-MAR-2009 and reattach here. With that the file is opened in C rather than DCL, which gives the user a much better chance of getting stream-oriented behavior. You also don't have to put "pipe" in front of things in order to do redirection.
Not that there's anything wrong with your approach either.
