Is it the build step or the run step that does the checksum? specmake and specinvoke should both have flags that will generate the commands for a build/run without actually invoking them. Maybe something on this page http://www.spec.org/cpu2006/docs/runspec-avoidance.html will help? (ex: the -n flag for specmake and specinvoke)
