[Openswan dev] md5sum of binaries are different across compilation

[hiren joshi]

Thanks for your prompt replay!

Are the same sized binaries have same md5sums too?

I get the following:

make programs
cp programs/pluto/pluto .. -v
make clean
make programs
[hiren at kerneldev openswan-2.4.12]$ ls -l ../pluto programs/pluto/pluto
-rwxrwxr-x    1 hiren    hiren     1830842 Aug 25 16:03 ../pluto
-rwxrwxr-x    1 hiren    hiren     1830842 Aug 25 16:04 programs/pluto/pluto
[hiren at kerneldev openswan-2.4.12]$ md5sum ../pluto programs/pluto/pluto
a2448d5480a8bbcfd0674288fb69c373  ../pluto
4f985241a9cddd63fa7bb718c8513a95  programs/pluto/pluto

I am afraid of a small source change that can not be detected by looking at
the size of binaries.
