I work for embedded systems and I am trying to make a build that yields exactly the same executable each time. Using -frandom-seed certainly helped to stabilize names that were otherwise variable, but still I have a couple of symbols that I have problems with. For example:
0x00003bfc _ZN13WorkingMemory17ReadTransactionalERN3HSL4FileERN58_GLOBAL__N_......_.._working_memory.cc_AE42A16A_FF4623503AllE
The ".._.." etc. part was evidently worked out of what I passed as -frandom-seed, id est, the source filename. Of the couple of hex number that follows sometimes, the second one sometimes is different, and I guess it is probably linked to the compilation date, but I am not sure. I am working on ARM, using gcc 3.4.0, using FLAT executables. I tried to remove symbols using strip on the ELF file, but that prevents FLAT conversion. Any ideas?
