COFF/PE files (Windows' objects and executables) contain a timestamp.
Bootstrapping will reach a fixpoint only modulo the timestamp. You can
see in Makefile.nt (used by MSVC and Mingw ports, not Cygwin) that
comparison is done by discarding the first 4096 bytes.
Btw, these timestamps force useless commands with build tools that rely
on file contents (like ocamlbuild or omake). LexiFi's version of
ocamlopt resets the timestamp on files that it produces so as to avoid
this problem.
