They both seem to be ELF32 ------------------------------ $ readelf -h hello ELF Header: Magic: 7f 45 4c 46 01 02 01 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Class: ELF32 Data: 2's complement, big endian Version: 1 (current) OS/ABI: UNIX - HP-UX ABI Version: 1 Type: EXEC (Executable file) Machine: Intel IA-64 Version: 0x1 Entry point address: 0x4000980 Start of program headers: 52 (bytes into file) Start of section headers: 69184 (bytes into file) Flags: 0x8, 32-bit Size of this header: 52 (bytes) Size of program headers: 32 (bytes) Number of program headers: 12 Size of section headers: 40 (bytes) Number of section headers: 37 Section header string table index: 36 $ readelf -h hello-gcc ELF Header: Magic: 7f 45 4c 46 01 02 01 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Class: ELF32 Data: 2's complement, big endian Version: 1 (current) OS/ABI: UNIX - HP-UX ABI Version: 1 Type: EXEC (Executable file) Machine: Intel IA-64 Version: 0x1 Entry point address: 0x4000930 Start of program headers: 52 (bytes into file) Start of section headers: 67824 (bytes into file) Flags: 0x8, 32-bit Size of this header: 52 (bytes) Size of program headers: 32 (bytes) Number of program headers: 12 Size of section headers: 40 (bytes) Number of section headers: 34 Section header string table index: 33 ---------- I am looking for any other differences now.
